a:1:{s:3:"raw";N;} sounds like a array with 'raw' => null and than the isset in Message.php will be false and the error is triggered.

I have no idea why Linker::commentBlock gets a null from Linker::formatComment.

The text on the second stacktrace should be "no reason not to link [[human]]s" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chordate&diff=587967257&oldid=585538122)

Within Linker::formatComment, the $comment parameter that is ultimately returned passes through three different method calls that utilize preg_replace_callback:

Sanitizer::escapeHtmlAllowEntities
Linker::formatAutocomments
Linker::formatLinksInComment

preg_replace_callback is documented to return null on error in in no case is the return value checked.

T43308 appears to be https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Africville&diff=360541408&oldid=360540210

[[WP:AES|←]]Replaced content with '[[File:Africville and bridge.jpg|right|thumb|200px] {{coord|44|40|28.5|N|63|37|6.6|W|display=title}} [[Category:Communities in the Halifax Regional Municipali...'

The TWN one from above is

Reply to [[Thread:Project:Translator/ 370 370 – 370/reply|<span id="lt"><tt style="font-size:88%;line-height:1.2">[lt]</tt> [[Portal:lt|Lithuanian – lietuvių]]</span>]]

These are both rather pathological summaries, and T99346 (which dealt with certain kinds of strange summary syntax) has been resolved since the issues were reported.

Are errors of this type still showing up in the logs?

I have not seen that in translatewiki.net in a while. The url in my paste above does not reproduce it.

@demon, is this still in WMF logs? If not, we should close this.

Not to my knowledge

On the basis that it is no longer occurring.
