Seeing no reply here, I've now submitted
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/178527 to revert the API change and to
update the UI message.

Hi list,
I wanted to get some feedback about
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74222.
In the last security release, I changed the return of the api to remove the
"action" for log entries that had been revdeleted with "Hide action and
target". However, ever since 2009 / r46917, we've assumed that "Hide
action
and target" didn't mean the actual action field in the db, but rather the
target and the text of the message about the action, which might include
other parameters. So the message about what's being hidden and the intended
protection of that option could have slightly different interpretations.
I'd like to hear if anyone has intended for the actual log action to be
deleted / suppressed. If not, I'm happy to revert the recent patch, and
we'll just update the wording in the deletion UI to be more clear about
what is being removed.
