Comment (by jrf):

 Duplicate of #58275.

 This needs a backtrace to see where the error originates from.

 The `convert_smilies()` function is clearly marked as only accepting
 `string` values for `$text`.

 The current proposed patch would widen the parameter type to `?string` and
 ''hide'' the error instead of fixing it.

 This should be fixed in the location where `null` is being ''passed'' to
 `convert_smilies()` instead.
