Yeah, it's a corollary of this:

What CloudFlare (aka CloudFront, aka CloudFormation ... I'll just call it CF) does is make a copy of a webpage, so when someone visits our wiki, CF can save the wiki some effort by displaying its copy (and then CF watches the original, and updates its copy when the original changes). This form of caching is a common web optimization practice, and it happens behind the scenes on tons of websites you use (you just never notice it).
However, anything
dynamic (like editing pages, or providing auction data) can't be cached. If things were working properly, CF wouldn't try to get involved, and would just let requests for those things through to the wiki server. It actually still does that, for some pages.
But for dynamic pages and
some static pages, it's not working, and that's why we get the errors. I can't really explain why some pages work and others don't without knowing more about Rogean's architecture, but the long story short version is that we need Rogean to fix things, and then we'll stop seeing those error pages.
