Make it possible to edit many entries at once - as in wrong place name for pages of baptisms

I found that an entries were indexed incorrectly for about 3 pages of baptisms in Roydon, Norfolk, England, UK because the transcriber did not notice that this group of records changed location from the prior group of images. I have changed the first 3 baptisms to the correct place (plainly written at the top of the Parish Register, and in every entry, and even written in modern times in UC letters at the top of each page). Here's the link: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939F-RXSW-8K?i=81&cc=1823613&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3ANDTF-XJW

Can the 'Manager' change these in a batch edit because I can't do every one, please? it's 1820, baptisms, and INCORRECTLY indexed as Rougham, Norfolk, England. If you search the interesting name "William Baggetha Pung" you will get to the right page But I have fixed that one but you will see on the 'list' that appears under the image that all those names on this same page as William are listed as location "Rougham" which is incorrect. It continues for the next 1-2 pages with this wrong location. THANK YOU.

Just in case you need to search for other names needing correction on this page: Caroline Luckling, 1820, baptism, Rougham, Norfolk, England -- see ALL the rest on the original need correcting to Roydon plus following page(s).

MY SUGGESTION: Please make it easy to find how and who to contact when there is a whole batch that needs the same correction??

    If I had to guess, that's not the error of an indexer or group of indexers. Your example probably represents a post-indexing processing error.

    @Maile L or @Mike357 Not a placename standardization error this time but I think this is likely a processing error.

    I have just put in another instance of wrong indexing/or perhaps as you suggest, processing in a batch of 249 images of many parishes in Norfolk. The same location is given for all entries but there are many parishes in this batch of Parish Registers.

    thank you.
