This is caused by suggested edits configuration containing an interwiki link in https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciaal:EditGrowthConfig. It should cause no user-facing bug, and was already fixed by 42840ee – when introducing interwiki links to the form, I forgot to enable them for suggested edits links as well.

We can backport the fix to get rid of the deprecation warning if you wish, but since this happens very rarely (this form is not used a lot), we can probably also just wait for the train.

Actually, it looks I was wrong in my judgement this does not bring any user-facing error. This happened when I tried to save Special:EditGrowthConfig:

I'll backport the fix, as nlwiki is one of the newly deployed wikis, and Benoit or community might want to do changes.
