A moderation job to do but no apparent way to do it

I notice that I have 1 job in my moderation job queue, but no apparent way to do it. There is an item with a date and time but no action type displayed, which means that it is something I cannot click on to accomplish. I wonder what sort of job has no action type. Could be something surreal or ethereal? Certainly mysterious and puzzling … Clearly a job worthy of Barbelith, then I suppose, but I cannot help but continue to wonder, and also wish that a null or empty action type were still clickable.

It appears to be job #54855 in the page source, which shows a properly formatted anchor tag but with nothing anchored within, and I was able to manually type in the URL to reach it. The job appears to have been for a user who requested an edit of their own post but with the proposed edit filled into the "reason" field and no actual edit selected.

Probably something that should have been caught upon data entry, but also gracefully handling a null in the action type in the code for displaying the jobs list appears to be necessary.

It's possible that it corresponds with a thread that I have deleted behind the scenes. I'll try and clean this up for you.
