The tag seems to attract taggers of all kinds, from using random number generators (which I think is the right usage) to people complaining about their computers "randomly" shutting down.

How should this tag be used?

+1 because digitxp seeded the question with an opinion regarding correct usage -- random number generation. – Randolf Richardson Aug 27 '11 at 22:57
@Randolf: random-number-generator is more clear for that purpose – Tom Wijsman Aug 28 '11 at 0:26
@Tom Wijsman: I just checked the "random" tag and it seems that there are no questions tagged to it; perhaps it's not even needed. – Randolf Richardson Aug 28 '11 at 0:58

@Randolf: That's because Random and I already worked through that tag. I improved some titles/content and added other more specific tags along the way... – Tom Wijsman Aug 28 '11 at 1:00

It's a meta tag at best and now that it's been wiped away, there isn't much to do with it.
