[Mediawiki-l] Watching for deletions

I've found I'm not getting notified when "my" watched pages get deleted on
a public wiki (http://wowwiki.com/). This seems like an odd oversight. Is
this corrected in current code?
As a rule I author a page and then don't revisit it unless someone changes
what I wrote. I found that the page had been gone for 6 months when I went
to add new information. The deletion was I think due to a change in page
naming policy and the page didn't get fixed to match the policy. (The bot
probably should have tagged the page first but I can understand forgetting
to take that step.) The admin has since recovered the page so I can bring
it into compliance.
