Topic on Extension talk:UserMerge/Archive 2

I downloaded v1.41 of the extension directly and it worked. Initially, I installed the UserMerge extension using Git. You can find the phabricator link here.

On my MediaWiki software, I keep getting the below error whenever I attempt to merge users:

/mediawiki-1.41.0/index.php/Special:UserMerge Error: Call to undefined method MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getConnectionProvider()

Backtrace:

Hi @Pppery, have you encountered this error before? I was experimenting with a concept while trying to update the Help:Renaming users page. Although I ultimately went with a different example, I'd appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

No, I've never seen this error before. But I don't actively use UserMerge either, and it's not been as actively maintained as it should be for years, so I would not be surprised if this is a real bug that needs to be reported on Phabricator.

Okay, I will report it.
