Sorry for so many forum posts. The RC patrol keeps on crashing and the I have to reload the page. It shows and error in the right hand bottom saying {{Internal server error}}.
Now it’s saying : Fatal error: Call to a member function getId() on a non-object in /opt/wikihow/prod/extensions/wikihow/hooks/DiffHooks.php on line 65

Bummer! Often in a case where RCP is crashing, it comes down not to the edit you’re on but to the next one in the queue somehow being unusual or causing an issue or triggering a bug when it tries to load. So I usually open up the Special:Recentchanges list and find the edit I’m on and then the next unpatrolled edit in the list and try to patrol it manually from there. In this case, I hit the crash once too and then manually patrolled the next edit so I’m hoping that fixed it for now. If it keeps crashing can you keep letting us know what the edit is (or even better, next edit, but if you’re not sure how to find that, the current edit is fine!)? Then we can try to hunt down a pattern if something is permanently glitchy, and get it fixed! Thanks! I know we have one open bug report on RCP due for a fix soon too, so maybe that’ll fix both kinds of crash at once
Hi Anna
It’s for multiple articles that this happened. After I reload, it’s fine for about 2 - 5 articles and the repeats again. It seems to have stopped for now

Well the kicker there is that it probably looks like multiple articles because it’s none of them that’s triggering it- it’s actually that next edit in queue, which you’ve never ‘seen’ load because it crashes each time before you see it. RCP loads newest edits first, so with each crash, you reload the tool, patrol a few more new edits, and then it crashes again when it hits that one bad edit again. Until the edit is cleared out, it’ll keep crashing at that point in the RC list/queue. I reckon I got this one for the moment but keep me posted if you see it again. And I added your error info to the open bug report- thanks for sharing it
