Is there a #theme menu_local_actions we could put on the container?

Related issues: +#1853072: Remove forum_menu_local_tasks_alter() hack and instead add links in ForumController::build

I just filed a similar issue which however is not related to this one because forum action links come directly from controller. Back in Drupal 7 the links were generated in hook_menu_local_tasks_alter(), which still exists in Drupal 8.
#2829997: Local action links should be inside UL element

I would move the links back to actions area but leave the "disallowed" message in place since it is not an action and not even a link.

$links['disallowed'] = [
  '#markup' => $this->t('You are not allowed to post new content in the forum.'),
];

#3: There is no theme for local actions that I could find.

The patch no longer applies.
We should get screenshots for this error as well.

I updated the issue summary with screenshots using 8.5. I didn't need to create any content. There is no UL, but the functionality seems ok.

Here's a patch re-roll against 8.8.x

Version: 8.8.x-dev » 8.9.x-dev

Drupal 8.8.0-alpha1 will be released the week of October 14th, 2019, which means new developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted against the 8.9.x-dev branch. (Any changes to 8.9.x will also be committed to 9.0.x in preparation for Drupal 9’s release, but some changes like significant feature additions will be deferred to 9.1.x.). For more information see the Drupal 8 and 9 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 and 9 release cycles.

I think we should open a follow-up to see if we can find a better approach for this problem.
