As described in T220696#5653419 we would like to use the `comment_data` field from the `comments` table to generate better edit summaries.
To make `comment_data` usable it needs to be exposed through the `FormatAutocomments` hook and stay backwards-compatible. This hook is run from `Linter::formatComment` which is in turn called from the following files:
**Calls to `Linker::formatComment`**
extensions/Wikibase/client/includes/RecentChanges/ChangeLineFormatter.php
includes/DummyLinker.php
includes/FeedUtils.php
includes/Linker.php
includes/actions/RollbackAction.php

**Calls to `Linker::revComment` (which is itself called from `Linker::formatComment`)**
includes/Revision.php
**Calls to `Linker::commentBlock` (which is itself called from `Linker::formatComment`)**

The above are only the relevant calls from mediawiki/core and wikibase itself.
