The link should be ''FamilySearch Wiki Main Page'' not ''Wiki Main Page''. The name of the link is ''Wiki Main Page'' instead of ''FamilySearch Wiki Main Page'' because there is no space between '''Page''' (the ''last word'' of the URL) and '''FamilySearch''' (the ''first word'' in the name of the link). The result is clicking on "Wiki Main Page" leads nowhere. | The link should be ''FamilySearch Wiki Main Page'' not ''Wiki Main Page''.
