Only applies with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182858/ (I happened to have that checked out), but we need to solve this before that can be merged.

The ball is back in our court. For now, we need to use ApiResult::META_BC_BOOLS . See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182858/ .

Patch-For-Review

Note: unsure if above patch is related to/fixes this specific issue.

I don't think so. Also, this bug shouldn't appear on core master yet, only with the patch linked above.

I added this to the sprint, because we're blocking that core change. I don't think it's super high-priority yet (we're not the only thing blocking it), but I don't want to forget about it.

An editor says they are still seeing this bug at mediawiki. I'm unable to reproduce, but perhaps it's an IE/Windows specific bug? I've asked for more details at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Sami9qe4icwmyz4x

This should never have been visible to end users. It was done in preparation for https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182858/ , which is not yet merged.

If someone's seeing this, it's probably a separate cause, and we need more info to track it down. (Note, I don't see any mention in the OP about locking).

If the claim is that this is happening now, then it can't be blocking T76728.
