Heiya Daniel, thank you for your insight and assessment of the situation. While I myself cannot do such an elaborate analysis as in [1] I can now confirm that pulling MW 1.26.2 in favour of MW 1.25.5 got me a fully accessible wiki. Same "LocalSettings.php" and same RewriteRules. Thus I can confirm that there is indeed something in the water.
I will be on phabricator regarding this. Cheers and thanks again!
