Comment (by pento):

 In [changeset:"42067"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="42067"
 Database: Restore numbered placeholders in `wpdb::prepare()`.

 [41496] removed support for numbered placeholders in queries send through
 `wpdb::prepare()`, which, despite being undocumented, were quite commonly
 used.

 This change restores support for numbered placeholders (as well as a
 subset of placeholder formatting), while also adding extra checks to
 ensure the correct number of arguments are being passed to
 `wpdb::prepare()`, given the number of placeholders.

 Merges [41662], [42056] to the 3.8 branch.
 See #41925.
