Privilege wiki "dollar variables" refer to the wrong sites

Question

The privileges page shows the names of other sites in page text.

Examples:

Talk in Chat: the chat for $SiteName is at
- On Super User: «There is a link to chat in the header of every page, the chat for Apple - Stack Exchange is at»
- On Server Fault: «There is a link to chat in the header of every page, the chat for Apple - Stack Exchange is at»
- On Gaming: «There is a link to chat in the header of every page, the chat for Apple - Stack Exchange is at»
Participate in meta: The meta site for $SiteName is at: $MetaUrl
- On Super User: «The meta site for Server Fault is at: http://meta.serverfault.com»
- On Apple: «The meta site for Server Fault is at: http://meta.serverfault.com»
- On Ask Ubuntu: «The meta site for Server Fault is at: http://meta.serverfault.com»

Stack Overflow renders this field correctly

Talk in Chat gives Apple to me, while Participate in Meta goes to Server Fault :/ — badp, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 20:52
I'm seeing different sites - but still the wrong sites - to those mentioned here. — ChrisF, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 21:31
@Chris Weird, I can repro the same sites in incognito as well. — badp, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 22:05
@badp - I'm seeing "Stack Apps" for the Talk in Chat pages and "Gaming" for the Participate in meta pages. — ChrisF, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 22:06
@Chris Can you repro that SO and SF's meta participation page behave correctly? — badp, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 22:08
@badp - Participate in Meta: SO's is OK, SF is showing "Gaming". Talk in Chat: SO's is OK, SF is showing "Stack Apps". — ChrisF, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 22:10
@Chris I guess SO is the only site working correctly then :) — badp, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 22:11
I get Stack Apps for Chat and GameDev for Meta. It seems very random. — Macha, Commented Mar 27, 2011 at 22:19

Good catch,

A fix will be deployed today, suffice to say, I blame myself and caching
