The various classes and interfaces for representing titles, links, and
pages can be a bit confusing. Link to a wiki page that provides an
overview:

/**
* Interface for objects (potentially) representing an editable wiki page.
*
* The identity of any PageIdentity object is defined by the
* namespace, the dbkey, and the wiki ID.
* The page ID together with the wiki ID also identifies the page,
* unless the page ID is 0.
* If the wiki ID is self::LOCAL, the identity is relative to the local wiki.
*
* @note For compatibility with the Title class, PageIdentity instances
* may for now not only represent non-existing pages, but also things
* that are not actually pages, such as interwiki links, section links,
* or Special pages (which exist, but are not proper editable pages).
* This is intended to change in the future, so that a PageIdentity always
* represents a "proper" page. Until then, code that requires a proper page
* should call canExist() to check, or require a ProperPageIdentity.
* Eventually, ProperPageIdentity is intended to become an alias for
* PageIdentity.
*
* @note For compatibility with the Title class, PageIdentity instances may
* be mutable, and return different values from methods such as getId() or exist()
* at different times. In the future, the contract of this interface is intended
* to be changed to disallow this.
*
* @note Instances of Title shall be the only instances of PageIdentity that are not
* proper pages. Other classes implementing PageIdentity must represent proper pages,
* and also implement ProperPageIdentity. The idea is that once Title has been removed,
* all PageIdentities are then proper pages, and the distinction between PageIdentity
* and ProperPageIdentity becomes redundant.
*
* @note Code that deserializes instances of PageIdentity must ensure that the original
* meaning of the "local" Wiki ID is preserved if the PageIdentity originated on
* another wiki.
*
* @see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Modeling_pages

* @stable to type
* @since 1.36

* @note As a concession to allowing Title to implement this interface,
* PageIdentity instances may represent things that are not pages,
* such as relative section links or interwiki links. If getId()
* is called on a PageIdentity that does not actually represent a
* page, it must throw a RuntimeException. The idea is that code that
* expects a PageIdentity is expecting an actual page.
* The canExist() method can be used to ensure that it is.
*
* @param string|false $wikiId Must be provided when accessing the ID of a non-local
* PageIdentity, to prevent data corruption when using a PageIdentity belonging
* to one wiki in the context of another. Should be omitted if expecting the local wiki.
