New special pages created

A new special page, Special:Randomredirect, allows a user to visit a random redirect page. Added by Rob Church on 25 April, the page works in a similar fashion as Special:Random.

Another new page, Special:Unusedtemplates, allows users to find templates which are not transcluded on any other page.
