User::getNewMessageLinks can return Revision objects
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

User::getNewMessageLinks returns an array, which includes a Revision if the user has a new message

None of the known callers outside of core actually use the Revision that is returned; I would suggest making a breaking change to simply return RevisionRecord objects instead

Alternatively, this may make sense to move to the TalkPageNotificationManager, but it relies on WikiMap::getCurrentWikiId() which would force the service to only apply to a specific wiki. Perhaps move it to the service, with the User and the wikiid being parameters?

See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/596502 - we opted for just removing the use of this method entirely. Should probably do the same in other occurrences if they exist

So just hard deprecate the entire method?

I think since the method was deprecated the task can be closed.

User::getNewMessageLinks wasn't deprecated, User::getNewMessageRevisionId was
