https://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors/multi-colon-escape
shows no matches.
The short answer is that, currently, there needs to be an edit to a page (or template transcluded on the page) before the results will show up. T161556 is about reprocessing all pages.

Yea, for a linter to serve its intended purpose, it ought to exhaustively process every existing page upon deployment...
