Comment:

 In [changeset:"36988"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="36988"
 Improve error handling in `get_categories()`.

 When passed an invalid `'taxonomy'`, `get_terms()` will return a
 `WP_Error`
 object. This object should not be blindly cast to an array. Instead, an
 empty
 array should be returned, to indicate that no matching terms have been
 found.

 Props virgodesign, sebastian.pisula.
 Fixes #36227.
