Pipelines page disappears from my gitlab-pages project and builds are stuck pending

I recently created a simple jekyll gitlab pages project. When I saved the .gitlab-ci.yml file to initiate the build process, things seemed normal. I could still visit the pipelines page for my project and could see that the build was pending. However, when I checked up on the project less than an hour late, this pipelines tab was missing. Along with the pipelines page missing I'm not able to see the same settings menu as before when I hit the gear icon. Trying to go directly to any of the pages via url produces only a 404 page. Ever since then (over 24 hours) the build has been stuck pending.
