Forum:Wikia welcoming bot malfunction?

On the Fable wiki, MediaWiki normally welcomes users and IPs with a message on their talk page and adding a template to the user page. However, this has stopped about yesterday for some reason. They never appear in recent changes though. is there a problem with MediaWiki or something? ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 06:15, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I am reporting the same problem, it simply doesn't do anything.  Light Daxter  - User - Talk 09:42, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

OK then. Around yesterday, The welcoming system stopped working. It all seems fine and is still active according to the mediaWiki pages. it is on the welcoming new user thing and is on @Sysop. However, talk pages and user pages are not having them templates added when they make an edit. They are new users that have never edited before. Hope this helps. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 17:48, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

For the record, I sent a message to the help inbox to inform Wikia of this forum and problem when I made the above edit this morning... -- 18:06, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I just welcomed a user myself, and it didn't appear in the RC. -- LordTBT Talk! 20:28, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Same problem on the Bleach Wiki. The Wikia bot hasn't made any edits since 19.04 on 1st of March. I've been adding the welcome messages myself today. -- Yyp (Talk) 13:56, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
