Hello Petr,

thanks for the update,

I think I have experienced a similar issue

with the method

WikiPage -> getCreator()

(upgrading from 1.35 to 1.36)

kind regards

(Thomas)

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Small BC breaking change to LinksUpdate

Hello,

This email is to inform you of a small backwards-incompatible change to LinksUpdate class in MediaWiki core.

LinksUpdate::getTriggeringUser method will start returning an instance of UserIdentity instead of a User object

as of [1]. All 2 known usages of this method are satisfied with UserIdentity interface, and going through a full

deprecation process here would require renaming the method and will just cause more pain to extension

developers.

Best regards.
