There were two issues at work here.
1. As I explained in the current tale announcements thread, I'd edited the ListPages module for Recently Created to filter out the shortcut pages I recently made for the sandbox and the forum, and I apparently managed to filter out untagged pages too. After a revert, all was fine. This morning I edited again, simply filtering out pages tagged with "admin".
I noticed the news pages have also been tagged "admin", which seems kind of weird. Considering the fact that this is going to be an ongoing and permanent thing, I've created the "news" tag. That way they won't get filtered out, and we can use a ListPages module to display them in order, should we choose to do so.
2. I noticed ratings not having been updated on my modules too. Other wikis noticed too. I've replied there and on the issue logged by the OP. And by now it's been fixed by Wikidot.
