Somehow, the GitWiki (which is MoinMoin wiki) lost the ability to parse macros. Macros are now output as is, instead of being substitutes with their expansion. It looks like MediaWiki-like syntax plugin got broken, because besides of {{macroname}} not being expanded, additionally pipe links [[target|label]] are not parsed.

See for example
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/FindPage
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SystemInfo

  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools 
  (table of contents lost)

So anyone has idea what has happened, and how to repair it?

  this was connected with the server upgrade, sorry. Fixed.

  There are unfortunately some stability problems with the new server,
we hope to get that sorted out; in case of downtime we'll be falling
back to the original server which is still running, but I disabled the
wiki there in order not to lose changes when flipping back and forth.

MoinMoin caches a copy of the generated html page, which is automatically updated when you edit the page. Since fixing the macros doesn't mean updating the page you have to manually delete the cache - this can be done from the "More Actions:" list.

Could admin of GitWiki then delete cache of all files?

I did that originally, but it looks like I've missed some bit. Hopefully now all is in order. :-)
