Wikia is trying to be smart with their cache by including the. Basically that's the last epoch time that anything on theloudhouse was reviewed. It corresponds to Wed, 4 May 2016, 19:40:13 (UTC). Anything approved after that time, including scripts on foreign wikis (like dev), is ignored in favor of whatever was reviewed prior to that time, unless theloudhouse changes what gets imported by that  tag.

Wikia has said somewhere (I don't recall when or where) that the cache is supposed to expire every 10 minutes so that updated stuff can make it through, but apparently that's not happening. You can force a change once by changing skin to Monobook. Similarly, I think there's a way to change debug to true on an individual basis. But those are one-time fixes. Once that src gets cached, it's the same problem all over again.

Wikia really needs to fix their cache.
