With the recent Javascript incident and everything getting disabled, locked etc. I was just wondering if the global-bots have been disabled as well ?
I ask since a friend of mine recently created a wikia and none of the usual pages were automatically generated by the Default bot (it's no longer an issue, all of the category, template and project pages we needed, we created manually).
Also, do bots update the cache of special pages ? It seems like the caches of special pages like Special:Uncategorizedcategories, Special:Uncategorizedpages etc. haven't been updated globally since the 13th August (and it's making categorising uncategorised content a little difficult) so I've been wondering...
