On Cryptography.SE we currently have a featured meta question but it is not showing in the side bar as can be seen on the below picture. This behavior was reproduced by one of my co-mods.
Is this a bug? Should we blame caching? If it is a bug, would removing and re-adding the tag help?
I'm asking this on the general Meta.SE because it may affect other sites as well.
It appears the issue fixed itself...
This may be due to some internal refresh of the system or due to me removing and re-adding the tag (within the grace period). I guess we'll not find out for now...
The "featured" sidebar only updated once every 24 hours approximately. If you've featured a question today, it will appear there tomorrow, or later the same day whenever the update task runs.
So yes, blame caching.
