The code in the FAQ was outdated. For newer versions of MediaWiki, you have to use the SkinTemplateNavigation hook instead of the SkinTemplateContentActions hook. I updated the FAQ. Basically, you need to do something like this:

$wgHooks['SkinTemplateNavigation'][] = 'replaceTabs';
function replaceTabs( $skin, &$links) {  
        $links['namespaces']['name_of_tab'] = array(
                'class' => false or 'selected', // if the tab should be highlighted
                'text' => 'text_of_tab', // what the tab says
                'href' => 'url_to_point_to', // where it links to
                'context' => 'main',
        );
        return true;
}
