 when editing a post/page e.g. /wp-
 json/wp/v2/users?context=view&who=authors&per_page=50&_fields=id%2Cname&_locale=user

 WP_User_Query was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
 5.9.0! "who" is deprecated. Use "capability" instead.

 Caused by wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-users-
 controller.php

 ---

 Additionally, this is there (and incorrectly documented?) in function
 wp_dropdown_users:
 >@type string       $who                     Which type of users to query.
 Accepts only an empty string or 'authors'. Default empty.

 And even in the function that deprecates it itself: public function
 prepare_query
 The docs for $who still says 'authors', which is deprecated though.
