Need a direct way of reporting errors on FamilySearch pages

FamilySearch has ecently made it more difficult to report Catalog errors (through withdrawing a direct link from the page concerned) whereas we need more of these links. A specific example I encountered today is at https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2334588 - see screenshot below. This specifically says, "We do not have rights to publish these images." Yet, using the "How to use this collection link" on this page leads to a link on https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/England,_Norfolk_Bishop's_Transcripts_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records (see second screenshot) that has a further link to the collection where the images can be viewed, at https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/uri=https://www.familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/1823613/waypoints (see third screenshot). The comment "We do not have rights to publish these images" is wrong and needs to be withdrawn to avoid users being misled about the actual availability of this collection of images.
