I found them back in the /lost+found directory

If this data is really important, you shouldn't just store it in the
wiki, but ensure to have one or more safe copies elsewhere too. In
its current incarnation, the CAcert wiki cannot be considered to be
a long-term reliable store I'm afraid.

These files are back in place now. In this case it was also possible to
retrieve them from the backup server, but we may not be so lucky in
all cases -- the boxbackup system is somewhat peculiar.
