Correcting a transcription
This used to be obvious to me, and no longer is…
The transcribed parents of Charles-Widon Huget and Marie Joseph Casmer are wrong,
I read Olivier Isidore Huget and Marie Joseph Tasnier. I'm not sure how to fix the transcription

It's better not to think of it as a transcription, because that implies a degree of completeness that does not apply to indexes. There's simply a misreading in the index.
I did my best to rescue the URL from the Community's auto-mangler (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939F-GMSM-GD?i=342&cc=1482191&personaUrl=/ark:/61903/1:1:6VS7-93QC), but for some reason the old viewer is getting as far as disabling the "attach" button, as it does when there are index entries associated with an image, but it's failing to actually show said index entries. I ended up searching the specific film for "Charles-Widon Huget" to get to his index detail page (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6VS7-93QZ), which is one place to start in order to make index corrections. (Another starting point is a direct link to the new viewer-and-editor: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939F-GMSM-GD?view=index&action=view.)
I see that this index entry has already been attached to a Family Tree profile, that is, it has already been found, so you should be "safe" to edit the index entry. Even if you attract the index editor's gremlin with your corrections, it will not hurt too much if said gremlin makes the index entry disappear from view.
(I call it a gremlin because it is much larger than a mere bug.)
