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.

Yes, in 1.13 development trunk.
