See here and here. The wiki is no longer creating new thumbnails.

:(

Call me crazy, but I think it's related to server load or something. I'm not 100% sure where I heard that, but it's what popped into my head last time I saw it.

Ugh. That's why I'd like to see the Wiki moved to somewhere with a little more reliable service and active admins.

Well, from what I've seen, the baconators have eased off actually inserting as many bacon links and instead started creating boatloads of user accounts.  (As in, I have to look 250 changes back to find the last bacon I paved.  Used to be 50-100 changes.)  Not sure which is worse, but I've been tracking the wiki changes on a more/less daily basis for a while now.

Update: Easily another hundred, maybe 125 new accounts today.  (05 June, 18:25 US Eastern)

Update, 2d: About 8 or so bacon posts over the past 300 or so changes.  (Yes, I had to use the 500-change setting to find my last bacon-paving.  Wasn't thrilled about that.)  Rest were new accounts.  No actual content posted.  Bacon paved and KA101 peeved--the wiki was getting rather laggy at times and actual bacon-paving takes about 1 second per page.  Shouldn't take 30 seconds to save the paving.

I'm doing the best I can, SharkD; I'm here/on-wiki just about every day and pave bacon at the same rate.  If those paved bacon-pages were deleted outright, that might fix the server-load problem.  Same if we did a user purge on the wiki.  So far as I can tell KK either didn't notice or declined Erathoniel's recommendation, though, and that's his right.
