in QQX this is ((wikibase-newitem-fieldset))
Which is weird, because it's effectively like doing {{int:{{int:wikibase-newitem-fieldset}}}} in wikitext; parse the wikibase-newitem-fieldset message first, then attempt to parse a message named whatever that message's content is.
The offending change must be this one, so adding @Umherirrender so they can look into it (and check whether the other changes in that commit cause the same behaviour).

This specific error situation does apply to Special:NewItem and Special:NewProperty and based on wrong documentation hints in the code.

The fix is part of wmf/1.35.0-wmf.37 and all wikis are now at that version (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/606179/)

Sorry to be reopening this, but someone in Telegram reported another thing that I think may be related:
When you try to add a new item that has the same label and description as an existing item, you get this error message. Until recently, the item was linked, but now it's just plain text. Is it caused by the same thing, or should we open a new task for it?

That is message 'wikibase-validator-label-with-description-conflict'. The message was added with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/562782/5/repo/includes/Specials/SpecialNewItem.php (T242204) and it looks like there are no links from the begin.
I would suggest to create a new task

Aha, thank you! The message has existed since 2012, so it must have been used elsewhere (and possibly with a link then) before that commit – but in any case it has nothing to do with this task. I'll open a new one!
