Save the page edits

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Almalinux 9
apache 2.4
PHP 8.3 (tried with 8.4 too, same issue)
MariaDB 10.11.19
mediawiki 1.46.1
Vector template

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

On the same server/account mediawiki works fine until 1.45.5

Checking this issue on IRC support channel looks like that the zip for 1.46.1 differ from REL1_46 branch:

<ashley> hm, yes, it definitely looks like the code shipped in mediawiki-core-1.46.1.zip (from https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.46/) differs from git REL1_46 branch
<ashley> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/core/+/refs/heads/REL1_46/includes/EditPage/EditPage.php#2521 -- here the 2nd param to the ImageRedirectConstraint constructor is $this->getTitle() and the 3rd param is $authority, but in the release .zip they are $this->inputs->getPage() and $this->inputs->getAuthority(), respectively; but the "inputs" stuff seems related to the includes/PageEdit/ dir which exists on master but not on REL1_46

Being bold and triaging this as UBN because editing is kinda a crucial feature, the very point as to why one might want to set up a wiki.

As I mentioned on IRC, this issue "only" seems to affect the published releases, the REL1_46 git branch appears to be OK and doesn't reference the undefined $this->inputs variable (which seems to be a 1.47+ thing, and even then, the relevant code which does define that variable lives in includes/PageEdit/, a directory not present on 1.46 or older releases).

But if I'm a new user reading https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download , of course I'll grab the latest release advertised as "stable"...

A patch file for those in a hurry.

There is now 1.46.2, assume the tarball is now correct.

Just tried MW 1.46.2, everything looks fine now.

Thanks
