=== Action ===

Action objects generate rows detailing a single action in the history of an article, e.g. a Featured Article candidacy. They inherit all properties and methods from [[#Row|Row]] objects, including the [[#Message|Message]] mixin methods. They have the following additional properties:

* <code>paramNum</code> - the parameter number for that action. Used to format error messages.
* <code>id</code> - the action ID. For example, featured article candidacies have an ID of "FAC". There is only one ID for each kind of action.
* <code>actionCfg</code> - the action config table for the object's action ID.
* <code>link</code> - the link set for the action, or the current talk page name if not set.
* <code>resultId</code> - the ID for the result of the action. For example, featured article candidates that were promoted have a resultId of "promoted". There is only one resultId for each possible result of an action.
* <code>date</code> - the date the action was carried out, or the 'action-date-missing' message if a date was not set.
* <code>oldid</code> - the oldid for the action. Nil if not set.

Action objects have the following additional methods:

* <code>Action:getParameter(key)</code> - finds the original parameter name for the key <var>key</var> that was passed to Action.new.
* <code>Action:getName(articleHistoryObject)</code> - gets the name of the action. This method must be passed an ArticleHistory object.
* <code>Action:getResult(articleHistoryObject)</code> - gets the result text of the action. This method must be passed an ArticleHistory object.
