This looks like you hit bug 801878 of bugzilla.novell.com. One of a lot 
of fallout caused by systemd integration. Unfortiunatley it is not fixed
in time for 12.3 release.

After the sad loss pf Uwe Gansert I took over temporary maintaienrship of 
Autoyast last summer. As such events cause always a major disruption 
there is mostly some friction during and after takover. Maintainership of 
the package will be hopefully taken over by a new permanent maintainer soon. 

The documentation part of Autoyast is migrated do our documentation 
department. So newest Autoyast docu will be available from 
    http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/
(there is still an outdated version there but this will be updated soon ;-)

The Wiki page was probably lost when we migrated our wiki some time ago.
So far I was not even aware of this page.
