No, this is not what the thread is about.

I took a look in a profile of a certain well known user and found an interesting giveaway. I entered it, but then I noticed that it was made two days ago, yet I never saw it here, even though I do have the game in my wishlist, and the giveaway itself is public. What happened here?
The giveaway in question is this: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/JR9Hk/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain

EDIT: it does appear if I search for it without entering the wishlist section: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?q=metal+gear+solid. It also appears in the second to last page in "all" section, so looks like it's just the "wishlist" category that's problematic.

EDIT 2: I got the answer in two posts below: 1 and 2

How long ago did you add it to your wishlist?

Last year. Right now there are two other giveaways of the same game running that do appear correctly.

7 hours ago. Resyncing it again doesn't help.

He created the giveaways two days ago but set the starting date today

EDIT : okay that's not it, there are entries form 2 days ago (and also after reading the post fully it appears what I said is not related anyway)

OK I think I know why (disregard my previous unrelated comment)

When you click on the link to the Steam store on the giveaway page, it appears that it is not only this game but a package with this game and Ground Zeroes, and package can't be wishlisted

The giveaway is linked to http://store.steampowered.com/sub/74453/
but two others giveaways are linked to http://store.steampowered.com/app/287700/

I think giveaways linked to /sub/ pages won't appear to wishlist page.

Thanks for the answer. There's two positions for MGS5:TPP when you create a giveaway with links you posted, so that must be it.
