 Code Improvement Suggestion for admin footer \wp-admin\admin-footer.php
 line No. 35

 $text = sprintf(
         /* translators: %s: https://wordpress.org/ */
         __( 'Thank you for creating with <a href="%s">WordPress</a>.' ),
         __( 'https://wordpress.org/' )
 );



 Should we use esc_url() here instead of __ (underscore) to ensure that the
 URL is valid and protected from cross-site scripting?


 $text = sprintf(
         /* translators: %s: https://wordpress.org/ */
         __('Thank you for creating with <a href="%s">WordPress</a>.'),
         esc_url('https://wordpress.org/')
 );

 Thanks!
