Are the profile counters for location categories stuck?

Question

The profile count at the location category Category:Battenberg (Eder), Hessen seems to be stuck at 1942. It hasn't updated since at least January 25th, despite the fact that new profiles have been added to the category almost daily. A manual count of the number of profiles in the category right now is 2067. About 20 of those were added today, so there are about 100 profiles that are not accounted for.

It says here that the count is updated daily, so I wonder if there's a problem/bug that has prevented it from doing so for the past ten days?

Hi Daniel. This sounds like the issue reported by Clare Spring at

Thanks, Jim. I just noticed that the count for subcategories is also stuck. In the example I've given above, it says 5, even though there have been 6 subcategories for about a week. Same for the number of pages (says 1, lists 2).

I just now created a post as the counters stopped at around 10pm Tucson, AZ time on 28 Feb 2024. Is WT having trouble due to Leap Year???

Hi Carol, is it all categories that are having issues, or just particular ones?

Hi Jamie, it was all the counters I was working with (Sorcerer, Integrator, Connector) The only thing that showed up was Weevils! I don't think WikiTree was adjusted for leap year. I just finished working on 10 profiles and they are listed as March 1, which is tomorrow!
