A while back, we needed a similar functionality (a random number generated
on the wiki upon page save that would be permanently available afterwards)
in fawiki, to use it as a last-resort tie breaker for a certain election.
We ended up using the page_random field (it is a random number between 0
and 1, which can be easily converted to an integer between 1-6 or whatever
other range desired).
The point is, I would support (re)creating an extension like this, and
hopefully enabling it on WMF wikis as well.
PS: I tried to fetch the source of that project via
Archive.org but was not
successful.[1]

you need more contact info, I hope you saw this:

btw, I don't understand the utility of this extension. Is it useful for
game wikis?
