Investigation and remediation is mostly complete[0] and the vast
majority of cases have been addressed. There are still users who will
experience this error for the next ~1 day.[1]

1.28.0-wmf.10 will be branched tomorrow and we will run an abbreviated
train schedule (group0 and group1 on Wednesday, group2 on Thursday).

Thanks to Matt Flaschen and Brad Jorsch (and others like Ori Livneh and
Bryan Davis) for their help.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[0] Modulo https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140156 which shouldn't
effect auto-creation.

[1] Users who were affected by this already before the fixes in the
code were deployed will still have the issue until the script that fixes
those cases completes running, which takes roughly 1 day. There is a run
of it going now, but we will run it again as we deployed fixes mid-run.
