Hey,
The getSkin method of the User class has been deprecated in MW 1.18, but is
still in use on a lot of places. I want to take care of this in the
extensions I maintain, but it's not clear to me what to replace it with in
parser functions and tag extensions. The deprecation notice states you
should use the most relevant RequestContext. How can this be obtained from
inside a parser function or tag extension? I did several searches through
trunk and the extensions I've checked out, but did not find any parser hooks
using this yet.
Cheers

Don't panic. Don't be evil.

Parser functions and tag extensions should not be making use of the
Skin, we don't fragment the cache by skin so that could lead to bugs
where one skin's visual modifications polute the parser cached content
displayed in another skin.
If you want the linker you should either use static Linker:: methods or
use the DummyLinker directly.
A good way to use the linker in a way compatible with changes would be:
$linker = class_exists('DummyLinker') ? new DummyLinker : new Linker;
Then you can call all the linker methods in an instance way. When you
drop pre-static-linker compatibility you can change all those $linker->
calls directly to Linker::
