Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111168:

GOOD BYE $wgArticle!
It was stated that it would be removed in 1.20 and we are in 1.20.

RobLa-WMF's comment:

We deprecated this less than a year ago (in r88588).  This commit is doing 
nothing other than breaking things that might otherwise actually work, and 
there's no followup work with tangible end-user benefit that depends on this 
being gone.  Most of the major Linux distros are still shipping a version of 
MediaWiki prior to this even being deprecated.

When will we ever remove this?  When we need to.  Certainly not before someone 
gets around to writing the documentation that [[User:Tbleher|Tbleher]] 
requested.

It would be just fine to throw deprecation errors upon use of this global, 
assuming there's a reasonable way to do that.
