Impact
Notes

Seeing 5 of these in the last hour. Submitting edit form via GET params; appears to be a hand-crafted request. This presumably should be returning an error to the client before it reaches this level.

Seeing a fairly similar one here in 1.46.0-wmf.19 (T413810), for a couple of wikiquote wikis:

The error in the task description is likely caused by passing a specific format to the format parameter, so it's unrelated to T419883
