Multiple people indexed on same "index ID"?

I am not sure how individual index records are identified and recorded, so am unsure if index ID is the right term.

I have twice run across multiple people in a census record linked to the same index ID.

I would love to fix this, but am pretty sure some kind of ticket needs to be submitted first.

One example is here <https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3LX-VD3>

The head of household and wife are indexed as the same person.

Changes to one changes both.

How do I add an additional index record to the page?

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!

    There is a known problem with the 1900 census, and it is in the hands of the developers to fix. See this thread, among others: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/111793/a-gremlin-in-the-1900-us-census-kearny-new-jersey#latest
