The buggy code was in 1.36.0-wmf.15 last week, but that was not deployed. I think we don't need to backport anything here as long as we merge before the branch cut in a few hours?

[mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools@master] Handle exceptions in the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/638160

The affected page is https://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Hilfe:VisualEditor/Bedienung. The entire page doesn't display because of this error, so I also submitted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/638160 to fix that. And https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/638154 should fix the underlying issue.

The ID is "X6B3kawQBHcAAFcgW8UAAAAI" and I can see it is logged in Logstash exactly the same as before (thanks @Majavah @DannyS712), except with "caught_by: other" (example) instead of "caught_by: entrypoint" (example). Hopefully if we ever have a similar issue in the future, doing it like this should still trigger your alerts or whatever, but without making affected pages completely inaccessible.

I didn't have any alerts - I was just looking through logstash
