Bug ID: 44117
Summary: API modules must make sure getContext()->getTitle()
returns a Title object.

API modules have a getContext() method that returns an ICOntextSource that can
be used with EditEntity, etc. That context object has a getTitle() method that
will return the context's internal title object or, if that is not set,
$wgTitle. Some extensions, like AbuseFilter, rely on this Title object being
present, the documentation of IContextSource also requires getTitle() to return
a Title object, and never null.
But in the API, $wgTitle may well be null, or, more frequently but just as bad,
something nonsensical or inappropriate (e.g. the main page). API modules that
modify an entity must ensure that getContext()->getTitle() returns the title
object that refers to the entity the module is operating on. This is necessary
to allow extensions like AbuseFilter to have the correct context for their
task.
