Several of us have seen this behavior at this point, including when not looking at any Wikipedia widgets. It seems like this also happens sometimes when looking at stock widgets. And if so, is it fair to guess this is on Apple to fix?

Ooooh, I wonder if this is related to our widget crashes?

Upon reading that thread, I'm thinking this one is either from:
- An iOS 14 issue (most likely)
- Some issue related to the periodic crashes we're seeing in widgets, which causes a refresh/crash loop. (For this one to be the case, all widgets in the gallery would have to be updated when one crashes. That seems like weird architecture, but who knows.)
Either way, this is probably not something worth investigating. If it's related to the crashes, @JoeWalsh fixed that in another PR. And if it's iOS 14, it's out of our hands.
Going to let others take a look at this, and if nobody has another theory, I'll close this out.

Seems like this was an OS issue or was resolved by resolving other issues (like the crashes) so I'm going to invalidate this.
