D&D 5e Compendium html links/bookmarks going to wrong content

For example.  Look up Rogue, select the Rogue entry for PHB and click Evasion in the Rogue Table.  The html link will take you to Midgard content on the market place.  It's like that all over the compendium now.    Wonder if somehow keyword bookmarks are being overwritten site-wide, rather than on content-specific pages?

I believe it is an automatic algorithm, and it is indeed writing links without much regard for utility. It seems to be based on keywords. For instance, "Goblins goes to the Ravnica Goblin page, while only a link specifically called Goblin (Volo's) goes to the broader base goblin. This is likewise true for things like "Combat", which goes nowhere useful if you happen to own the PHB. It appears that the system worked well enough when the Compendium was small, but the larger it grows, the less efficient it becomes.
