I was subtracting 10000000 seconds from the actual timestamp to keep
log:WantedPages out of the RecentChanges list while still retaining a
usuable modification time for comparison with the present. (Previously
the timestamp was being forced to 0 to keep it out of RecentChanges.)
Apparently this got slightly messed up in the conversion...?

I've checked in a fix to special_wantedpages.php that will allow a
refresh when the timestamp is insanely wrong. Jimbo, I highly recommend
installing it, as people are clamoring for WantedPages to work again.

I'd also recommend a cronjob to do an automatic refresh at some
interval; daily would probably be sufficient.

Alternatively, a "maximum refresh interval" could be written into the
page code, so if somebody brings up the page after X amount of time, it
automatically gets refreshed (but the unlucky user has to wait for it to
finish).
