 While reading through the code I came across line 189 of wp-includes/link-
 template.php (WordPress 4.8.2):

 {{{#!php
 if ( $parent = $category_object->parent )
 }}}

 I don't have a behavior to reflect this but it looks like the common bug
 where the incorrect single equals sign appears in a conditional.  There
 should probably be 2 or 3 equal signs here.
