Description

Reason

@Dinoguy1000 Why you removed assignee?

Sorry, I started editing the task before Herald had added you, and apparently Phabricator isn't good at these types of conflict resolutions. I've readded you.

I assigned this task, no Herald did it for me. No problems! :)

Archived Wikidata item, page on MediaWiki.org, T22999: SelectCategoryTagCloud is not properly escaping tags and T23468: SelectCategoryTagCloud doesn't work after system upgrade marked as declined per this task. And it is all for this extension. It is not on hosted on our repository tools, not included at translatewiki.net configuration, so I think to I did everything and this task can be closed as resolved.
