Default Angor Wat closure?

Someone mentioned that Angkor Wat will remain closed next year for renovation.
Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks

'Angkor Wat' as a generic, covers many seperate temples spread over a big
area. It takes 3 days for a 'quickie' tour as it is - even if Angkor itself
is closed, which I doubt, there remains much to see and explore.

First I had heard of it. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows
specific details, as I've already booked accommodation and
flights for next March.

You caused me to do a little research. I have no way to
judge the veracity of these links, so form your own opinion.
I'll still be going.

First, the story:

Then a comment in rebuttal:

Finally something in a bit more depth:

To be more accurate, "Angkor" is the general area, "Angkor Wat" is the
specific complex which is the largest and most important of the temples in
Angkor.

So, we should say that even if Angkor Wat is closed, there will still be
much to see and explore in Angkor.
