Hello Team,
I have reviewed the WordPress core PHP files and noticed that some global
variables are referenced in the comments but are not explicitly defined in
the code itself.
So, I think that if these variables are not being used anywhere, they
should be removed from the list to avoid confusion and keep the codebase
clean.
**Files:**
----
wp-admin/includes/plugin.php
wp-includes/rss.php
wp-includes/update.php
Please review it and share your feedback.
Thanks,
