register_taxonomy - "null" in documentation for arguments > parent_item_colon

[rtpHarry]

Issue Description

I raised this in https://github.com/Crocoblock/suggestions/issues/8084 but it was closed, deferring to the official wording.

But it doesn't make sense, and seems like a clear typo.

Why is this a problem?

The wording doesn't make sense starting at the word null:

‘parent_item_colon’ – The same as parent_item, but with colon : in the end null, __( 'Parent Category:' )

Suggested Fix

Based on the lines before / after, it looks like it should say:

‘parent_item_colon’ – The same as parent_item, but with colon : in the end. Default is null or __( 'Parent Category:' )
