Including a non-existent category in an article places that article in the category
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: fyrenmoo

Description:
If you include a non-existent category into an article by "{{Category:Foo}}" or
"{{:Category:Foo}}" then the article will be placed in Category:Foo (assuming
that Category:Foo doesn't exist). Nothing visible is rendered for the inclusion.
The expected behavior is probably to render a red link to the category.

Fix

A single colon should fix this. I don't think it'll break any possible titles
that can find their way to that point.
