I have no clue if this is intentional or not, but it’s probably worth reporting anyway.
Pages relying on caches, like Special:WantedPages and Special:WantedCategories, aren’t updating when they should be. Normally, they’d update around midnight, but they didn’t update today at all - the “This page was last updated” is still marked as September 16, when it should have updated around midnight, 9/17/16. There are also old pages in Special:WantedPages that were cleared out a day prior to the cache being refreshed, and that I checked the logs and know weren’t reverted, and are still hanging there.
If the last sentence doesn’t make sense, I’ll give an example: I cleared out broken links on 9/15/16, with the example being clearing out broken links on Win a Water Balloon Fight. The broken links (all with “How to” in the title, such as “How to Tie a Balloon”) still hung on the page on the 9/16/16 cache refresh, even though my edits weren’t reverted.
Is this related to database errors, or something else? .-.

Yep, as I mentioned when we talked about this bug the other day, Reuben thinks this is related to the known issues. Hopefully when they iron those out, it’ll go back to normal, and if not we can tackle separately after that. Thanks for your patience about it
Wait, where the heck did you come from, @Anna
? You’re normally not around on the weekends…
Anyway, thanks for letting me know.
Hopefully everything’s back to normal soon. We don’t need bugs here!
