Hello Petr,
thanks for the update,
I think I have experienced a similar issue
with the method
WikiPage -> getCreator()
(upgrading from 1.35 to 1.36)
kind regards

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Small BC breaking change to LinksUpdate
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.
