			* Varying ''seed'' linearly generates numbers that generate a linear sequence on the same page, with equal cyclic steps;
			* Varying ''prime'' (provided that they are odd prime numbers) generates pseudo-random that have independent random distribution.
			* Note that when ''count'' is even (such as 100 by default, or 1000 in the examples above), the generated numbers (on the same page) are all odd or all even when you are varying the ''seed'' or ''prime'', unless half of the calls use an even ''seed'' and the others used an odd ''seed''. However, later invocations will still alternate odd and even numbers on output (this problem only occurs on the same page where multiple random numbers are invoked).
			* On the same page, multiple invocations of this template with the same parameters will generate the same output value, so it is possible to create multiple links related to the same article.
