Looking at https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Module_talk:Wikidata_label&action=history and the individual diffs there:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Module_talk:Wikidata_label&diff=1212236616&oldid=1187684010 from June 20th 2020 seems to be the first edit that throws an error. All the ones after that do as well for me.

Setting this to high because inaccessible diffs are bad!

Suspected it might be related to some recent change. @noarave to provide details on this lead.

Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE updated the task description. (Show Details)

(I edited the request URL and request ID because the old request URL no longer produced an error, for some reason.)

Noticed a further 11 of these this morning in 1.36.0-wmf.27.

This can be reproduced locally by making the main namespace an entity namespace (which is the case on Wikidata, but typically not on local test wikis, which have a separate Item: namespace):

LocalSettings.php
$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces']['item'] = NS_MAIN; // testing T271402

Then put the wikitext [[d:Special:EntityPage]] on a page and look at a diff where that wikitext is in the rendered page content.

  • HtmlPageLinkRendererEndHookHandler::doHtmlPageLinkRendererEnd() runs, to potentially add a label to links (meant to be only links in edit summaries)
  • the link has no custom text, and the request is one where labels should be added to links in edit summaries (a diff request and not an API request), so doHtmlPageLinkRendererEnd() calls internalDoHtmlPageLinkRendererEnd()
  • internalDoHtmlPageLinkRendererEnd() tries to parse the link as a foreign entity ID (which fails), and returns if that fails and if the target namespace is not an entity namespace
    • because the link is an interwiki link, it is parsed as a link to the “d:” wiki (Wikidata), with namespace 0 (main namespace) and text “Special:EntityPage”; namespace 0 is an entity namespace
    • therefore internalDoHtmlPageLinkRendererEnd() does not return, but continues
  • internalDoHtmlPageLinkRendererEnd() asks its linkTargetEntityIdLookup to get the entity ID
  • EntityLinkTargetEntityIdLookup::getEntityId() determines the link is external and delegates to getEntityIdFromExternalLink()
  • getEntityIdFromExternalLink() splits the link text (expected to be something like “Special:EntityPage/Q123”, actually “Special:EntityPage”) on / into two parts and passes the second part (expected to be something like “Q123”, actually the second element of a one-element array, i.e. null with a PHP notice “undefined offset”) into parseEntityId()
  • parseEntityId() (rightly) complains that it was passed null when it expects a string
