Broken links - New York Passenger Lists
The freely accessible New York passenger lists "https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Free_Online_New_York_Passenger_Lists,_1820-1897"
contain a long list of links to FS Library Film waypoints. …. BUT… the links have been constructed incorrectly and contain a double backslash between .org and search where there should be a single one.
This breaks the hyperlink
Correct URL : "https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/uri=https://api.familysearch.org/records/collection/1849782/waypoints
Actual Hyperlink on the page: "https://www.familysearch.org//search/image/index#uri=https%3A//api.familysearch.org/records/collection/1849782/waypoints"

How to report an error in the FS Wiki:

As much as I'd like to go in and quickly fix it, it seems there's new rules for edit access on the wiki (it might just require taking a quick training, but that training won't be available until July): https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/FamilySearch_Wiki:Editing_the_Wiki
There is another reporting link for the interim: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe58tpSxtxYjB5NSCXbCKLobLBrpvsrT0-Jjz2tdG2vVN2njQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

@Cousin Vinny The link I posted is to report an error in the Wiki, not to do the editing in the Wiki.

Yes, the google form I linked is new and is titled:
FamilySearch Research Wiki: Suggestions or Report a Problem
This form is used to suggest websites or content you wish to see in the Wiki. This is also where you report any broken links or errors you find in the Wiki. Our volunteers will work on adding/fixing the information.

Thanks to all for the information. The fix would no doubt be easy to implement but effort would need to be diverted from other more important fixes. In the meantime, if a researcher encounters the issue, they will be able to unmangle the URL as indicated above.
