Comment (by desrosj):

 In [changeset:"44297" 44297]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44297"
 PHP 7.3 Compatibility: Fix compact related notices.

 In PHP 7.3, the `compact()` function has been changed to issue an
 `E_NOTICE` level error if a passed string refers to an unset variable. In
 previous versions of PHP, this notice was silently skipped. This fixes a
 few more instances of unset variables in the WordPress admin.

 The full RFC can be viewed here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/compact.

 See #44416.

 Merges [44185] into trunk.

 Fixes #45483.
