Locations swapped in index
There are 9000-odd records indexed from the Reformed (aka Calvinist) church register from Bőny, Győr county, Hungary (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/85445). Except for the one page's worth that I've corrected, they're all labeled as occurring in Császár, Komárom county, which is about 15 miles southeast of Bőny, as the crow flies (or more than 20 miles on roads).
Császár's Reformed registers are on two films (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/85449). The earlier of those two (film 630319, digital image group 4703452) has 20,000-odd indexed records associated with it, all but eight of them labeled as ... you guessed it: Bőny, Győr, Hungary. (The exceptions were corrected by someone else last year, but he/she also gave up after a single page.)
Is there any hope of this ever getting corrected?

@Julia Szent-Györgyi Sorry you had to wait so long on this one. I'll get it written up and move to the team that's working on these place mis-identifications. Thanks for the heads-up.

I suggest you also post this comment in the Austro-Hungarian Empire Community group: https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/13-austro-hungarian-empire. You may get some help from the members of that group.

@Kennneth Smith, what could my fellow members of that group actually do about this labeling/metadata switcharoo? I happened to notice it because I have relatives from Bőny, but the fact that it's two places in Hungary is immaterial to the problem. It could equally be two places in Zimbabwe and my question would stand unchanged: is there any hope of this mess getting fixed?
