@dancy its because someone was manually messing with their url I think. Percent decoding returns:

https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciální:Nové_stránky?namespace=-9845 OR 2408=(SELECT UPPER(XMLType(CHR(60)||CHR(58)||CHR(113)||CHR(106)||CHR(120)||CHR(122)||CHR(113)||(SELECT (CASE WHEN (2408=2408) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) FROM DUAL)||CHR(113)||CHR(106)||CHR(112)||CHR(107)||CHR(113)||CHR(62))) FROM DUAL)-- RFtw&invert=1&associated=1&tagfilter=SnzL&username=&size-mode=min&size=NqnN&wpFormIdentifier=newpagesform

which is unlikely to occur to a normal end user. Still should be fixed though.

This exception can be triggered deterministically at will by passing negative namespace number. The request parameters obviously need more sanity checks
