-* URL pattern: `^users/{pk}/set_password/$` Name: `'user-set-password'`

-If you do not want to use the default URL generated for your custom action, you can instead use the url_path parameter to customize it.
+By default, the URL pattern is based on the method name, and the URL name is the combination of the `ViewSet.basename` and the hyphenated method name.
+If you don't want to use the defaults for either of these values, you can instead provide the `url_path` and `url_name` arguments to the `@action` decorator.
For example, if you want to change the URL for our custom action to `^users/{pk}/change-password/$`, you could write:

+**Date**: [unreleased][3.8.0-milestone]
+
+* Refactor dynamic route generation and improve viewset action introspectibility. [#5705][gh5705]
+
+ `ViewSet`s have been provided with new attributes and methods that allow
+ it to introspect its set of actions and the details of the current action.
+
+ * Merged `list_route` and `detail_route` into a single `action` decorator.
+ * Get all extra actions on a `ViewSet` with `.get_extra_actions()`.
+ * Extra actions now set the `url_name` and `url_path` on the decorated method.
+ * Enable action url reversing through `.reverse_action()` method (added in 3.7.4)
+ * Example reverse call: `self.reverse_action(self.custom_action.url_name)`
+ * Add `detail` initkwarg to indicate if the current action is operating on a
+ collection or a single instance.
+
+ Additional changes:
+
+ * Deprecated `list_route` & `detail_route` in favor of `action` decorator with `detail` boolean.
+ * Deprecated dynamic list/detail route variants in favor of `DynamicRoute` with `detail` boolean.
+ * Refactored the router's dynamic route generation.
