[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.
