===============================================================================
Deprecation: #84285 - Protected methods and properties in MoveElementController
===============================================================================

See :issue:`84285`

Description
===========

This file is about third party usage of :php:`TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\ContentElement\MoveElementController`.

A series of class properties has been set to protected.
They will throw deprecation warnings if called public from outside:

* :php:`sys_language`
* :php:`page_id`
* [not scanned] :php:`table`
* :php:`R_URI`
* :php:`input_moveUid`
* :php:`moveUid`
* :php:`makeCopy`
* :php:`perms_clause`
* [not scanned] :php:`content`

All methods not used as entry points by :php:`TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Http\RouteDispatcher` will be
removed or set to protected in v10 and throw deprecation warnings if used from a third party:

* [not scanned] :php:`init()`
* [not scanned] :php:`main()`

Additionally :php:`$GLOBALS['SOBE']` is not set by the :php:`MoveElementController` constructor anymore.

Impact
======

Calling one of the above methods or accessing one of the above properties on an instance of
:php:`MoveElementController` will throw a deprecation warning in v9 and a PHP fatal in v10.


Affected Installations
======================

The extension scanner will find most usages, but may also find some false positives. The most
common property and method names like :php:`$content` are not registered and will not be found
if an extension uses that on an instance of :php:`MoveElementController`.

In general all extensions that set properties or call methods except :php:`mainAction()` are affected.


Migration
=========

In general, extensions should not instantiate and re-use controllers of the core. Existing
usages should be rewritten to be free of calls like these.
