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.
