MWTitleInputWidget should have a .getTitle() getter (which can return null, if the value isn't a valid title). Using this getter should be preferred over .getValue(). Callers of MWTitleInputWidget.getValue() should be converted to .getTitle(), and they should check for null-ness, because we probably have more bugs like bug 71998 hiding in various places.

| Resolved | None | T74468 VisualEditor: MWTitleInputWidget should return titles | |||
| Resolved | None | T73249 VisualEditor: TitleInputWidget should validate inputs |
Also, per bug 71249, now that we have isValid() in TextInputWidget, it makes sense for MWTitleInputWidget to reimplement isValid() as a check for getTitle() not being null.
