When calling a not existing page in version 1.21.1 it comes with an internal server error (Error Code 500). The bug is in the Articles.php file in the function showMissingArticle(). To fix the problem the $wgRequest-variable has to be declared as global.
I'm aware of some 1.21 installations where this is not the case, hence slightly surprised. Looking at https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/41acf893f61e0e56e0becbac56c336b03d81096c/includes%2FArticle.php#L1158 I fail to see any wgRequest around there.

(It hasn't been in that file since mediawiki 1.20)
Created attachment 13091 [details] Screenshot of Plesk with MediaWiki Version Number
Created attachment 13092 [details] Code of showMissingArticles() The call of $wgRequest->response() on line 1141 is the reason for the 500 error code. I added $wgRequest on line 1091 to fix this error.
I added two screenshots to give answers to your questions.
(In reply to comment #5) > I added two screenshots to give answers to your questions. That's not our code. Plesk must of added it. As far as I can tell, at no point did that code appear in our repository.
Ok then I will tell Plesk about this issue.
Closing as INVALID for the time being as it seems that the issue might have been created by the webhosting provider.
