The inaccurate code example can mislead developers into implementing the hook incorrectly, potentially causing issues in their WordPress sites or plugins. Clear and accurate examples are essential for helping developers understand how to use hooks properly.
Suggested Fix
Replace the current code example with the accurate implementation as found in wp-admin/admin.php between lines 408-420. Below is the correct code:
if ( ! empty( $_REQUEST['action'] ) ) {
$action = $_REQUEST['action'];
/**
* Fires when an 'action' request variable is sent.
*
* The dynamic portion of the hook name, `$action`, refers to
* the action derived from the `GET` or `POST` request.
*
* @since 2.6.0
*/
do_action( "admin_action_{$action}" );
}
