Yup. They're blocked with an article header that looks like [[Leech (computing)]] and an explanatory message.

Though to be clear, this because of the load it causes, not because of any metaphysical reason it would be forbidden to be as up to date as wikipedia itself is (and party to all the good and evil that entails), as far as content is involved. Us being a "live" site rather than one where content is "published" after a central editorial process, is one of the cornerstones that allows us to operate. Or has at least been. We will duly enter uncharted waters, once we progressively tighten the definition of what us being a "live" site means...
