Re: Lucene-search stops indexing page contents

It looks like we are getting closer. 
But what does the "adding an 'OutputPage' type hint to the declaration" mean?
Does it mean we need to edit the skin somewhere?
 
Further hints would be appreciated.

This is likely unrelated to your search problem -- you should be able to fix it by adding an 'OutputPage' type
hint to the declaration so it matches the updated declaration on the parent class.

Delete and Move not listed as options for pages in our wiki

In our user setting we have
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['delete']          = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['undelete']        = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['move']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit']            = true;
...

I am an administrator and bureaucrat, but delete and move do not show up when I view a page.  I do not have any
specific group permissions for Bureaucrat or administrator.

Regular users also do not see delete or move.  We all have these menus: Page, Discussion, Read, Edit, View history.

I think there is some configuration that I am missing.

Thanks,

Mary Beebe

I'm guessing you're using vector, if so it in the drop down menu next
to the search bar.

Re: Delete and Move not listed as options for pages in our wiki

Now I feel stupid.  I had not used the vector skin with my other wikis.  Someone here just told me there is a
dropdown arrow that has the delete move, etc selections.

Thanks,

Re: Delete and Move not listed as options for pages in our wiki

Yes it is.  Someone just told me that here.  I have been administrating wikis for a while so I am embarrassed
that I spent too much time researching why delete and move are not in this wiki.   

This is the first wiki using the Vector skin. 

Thanks,

Mary Beebe

Re: Delete and Move not listed as options for pages in our wiki

Here is some extension code that moves the "Move" command into the top tabs in Vector.  We did this on our wiki
because many users got confused and could not find the Move command.

<?php

$wgHooks['SkinTemplateNavigation'][] = 'efVectorMenuChanges';

function efVectorMenuChanges(&$skinTemplate, &$links) {
  global $wgVectorUseIconWatch;

  $title = $skinTemplate->mTitle;

  // Move the "rename/move" menu item into the top tabs
  if ($title->quickUserCan('move')
      && isset($links['actions'])
      && isset($links['actions']['move'])) {
    $links['views']['move'] = $links['actions']['move'];
    unset($links['actions']['move']);
  }

  // Now Move is to the right of the watch icon.
  // Remove and re-append the watch icon.
  $place = $wgVectorUseIconWatch ? 'views' : 'actions';
  $mode = $title->userIsWatching() ? 'unwatch' : 'watch';
  if (isset($links[$place]) && isset($links[$place][$mode])) {
    $watchData = $links[$place][$mode];
    unset($links[$place][$mode]);
    $links[$place][$mode] = $watchData;
  }
