FamilySearch links to Antenati are deprecated and no longer function
There are some field-indexed Italian records in FamilySearch which, although they are restricted in FamilySearch, include links to the corresponding record on Antenati, for example:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XQZG-816G
The image area contains a link to the record on Antenati:
However, the link is deprecated, from a former iteration of the Antenati site:
The "breadcrumbs" URL structure is no longer in place. This is the correct link to the record:
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an%5Fua19686096/w63MDK6
I don't know how many of these FS records are out there, but I suspect they all have munged URLs.

@SerraNola Is this something you could help push up to the Engineers, when they have recovered from RootsTech? Thanks.

@Cousin Vinny I will send this in for updating. Thanks for the heads up!

@Cousin Vinny When did you first notice the link was broken? I'm confused because apparently Antenati was updated a couple of years ago and I'm told the links haven't worked since then. Is that your experience? Having a member account, I have never had to use the link.

Yes, they've been broken for awhile. I can generally find the new location myself but many others don't know how to do so.

@Cousin Vinny Update: I am told this will be addressed as part of our new contract with the DGA. It will likely remain broken for a while longer.
