behavior from API clients trying to continue through prefix results.

+* Added 'applychangetags' and 'changetags' user rights.
+* (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting the

getExternalLinkAttributes method, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.18.
* Removed Sites class, which was deprecated in 1.21 and replaced by SiteSQLStore.
-* The mw.api.getToken() method now uses action=query?meta=tokens. This will now
