Random Question Management from Subcategories would be a nice Question Bank management UI feature to implement. The idea here is to allow Delete if not in use, hide if in use or Move to another Category. Currently Random Question qtype=random is ignored by the Question Bank UI leaving Teachers or Admins unaware of their existence within a category until a category delete is attempted.

This may already be addressed by issue MDL-16345 however, this is simply a request that I recently had from a client whom was complaining to me about this Question Bank UI behavior.

I have attached a diff of the code I have implemented in my 1.9.5-1.9.6 Test sites to allow me to show and manage random questions which are not actual discrete questions. I know there is a special check for this now in the environment check code and special admin report however users are still allot of time unaware of the existence of these question types in their categories.
