The skin is only enabled on api.wikimedia.org, so this error will not grow larger as deployment onto more groups happen. cc @cicalese

Caused by

'wgWMAPIPSidebarSpecialPages' => [
	// no default, fallback on extension default if extension is
	// installed, unnecessary otherwise
	'apiportalwiki' => [
		'AppManagement',
		'Notifications',
		'Preferences'
	],
],

since Special:AppManagement doesn't exist yet
