This appears to be a #Contribute > UX bug. Does this sum it up?

1. multiselect values only show up as link in user card/profile if user has selected more than one value. If there is only one value, it is displayed as plain text and not a link
2. link to filtered results include yourself even if you yourself do not have that value selected
3. the link to filtered results does not work for multiselect values containing a `.` e.g. `violet.purple`
