This hook was implemented by Bryan Tong Minh in 35294[1], and in
conjunction wit AssertEdit  it leads, as I warned, to AssertEdit
attempting to display a HTML error page and choking with
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getPrefixedText() on a
non-object in C:\Projects\MediaWiki\includes\OutputPage.php on line
1314" instead of proper XML output. I suppose that other extensions
that don't expect to be called from API may exhibit the same
behaviour.
