Locations indexed incorrectly,

About 6 months ago maybe longer ago. Many locations in Caledon Township, Peel County, Ontario, Canada were re-indexed.
They had been correct since I joined Family Search many years ago, I think it was 2015.

This is affecting a huge variety of records.


A little background Caledon is/was a Township within the county of Peel. Within the Township there are many small villages and the occasional small town.
Villages include Alton, Belfountain, Bolton, Cataract, Melville, Rockside, Terra Cotta, there is also confusingly a village called Caledon Village.
Sometime about 6 months ago, almost all places within Caledon Township were re-indexed, they were listed as being in Belfountain village.
This included Cemeteries, as one example Alton Cemetery in the village of Alton was re=indexed to be in the village of Belfountain, they are about 10 km apart and Belfountain has a cemetery.
I have left lots of comments on profiles and added notes and alerts. Alton Cemetery has had its location corrected, but all the other places including cemeteries are still incorrect.
When I add Alton Cemetery and the correct location it still pops up as a non-standardized location.
This mistake has to be fixed, I am now seeing this location error appearing on other websites.

    @Monica Ross_1 Can you check some of these records again and see if there are less instances of the name being changed to Befountain? It seems to me that many have been changed back to Caledon, Peel, Ontario.
