Saving of pages broken after update to mediawiki version 1.44.2

[Leerensucher]

After I updated to mediawiki version 1.44.2 I am no longer able to save a page. I always get a "fatal error of the type error". Turning error logging on gives me this infomation:

TypeError: MediaWiki\Page\WikiPageFactory::newFromTitle(): Argument #1 ($pageIdentity) must be of type MediaWiki\Page\PageIdentity, MediaWiki\Title\TitleValue given, called in /www/htdocs/w0086b74/edo/extensions/LinkTitles/includes/Extension.php on line 67

Can you please help me? I love this extension and am not willing to give it up!

Hi Leerensucher, I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem.

Yes of course I will try and help you, but from earlier experience this will involve a whole lot of research, because evidently MediaWikis API has changed once again and I always have a hard time wrapping my head around the documentation.

Please bear with me.

Any chance of rolling back your MW instance for the time being...?

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Everything is ok, I have backups of the old mediawiki-installation, the images and the database. Whenever needed I am able to roll back to the old version. But I would prefer to stay with the new version.

Hello there!

I'm experiencing the same issue on MediaWiki 1.45.1 (hosted in a docker container, so I can simply deactivate the extension). I can see that there is already a pull request with a fix, and it'd be awesome if this gets merged eventually. I'm mainly commenting for visibility - the LinkTitles extension is awesome, and I'd love to continue using it!

I tried postmarkme's fix today. Works fine for me!
I would recommand to fix the crashes like that.
