Multi colon escape appears to ignore noinclude tags
Open, MediumPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:

  • See three multi colon escape errors listed

What should have happened instead?:

  • No errors should have been listed. There does not appear to be a multi colon escape problem here. Copying the text to Special:ExpandTemplates results in zero errors, although that page does not always show Linter errors properly.

Was there a recent change to the multi colon escape detection code that caused this error to appear on this page? The Linter error list for this error was completely clear on en.WP until this page suddenly popped up on it (before my edit to remove a space). If there was not a change, why didn't the page appear on the error list when it was edited on 14 September 2022?‎
