I am having an issue with Related Historical Events on my settlement articles. I started building a world, and decided that I wanted to merge that world with my current world. As part of that merge I transferred about 5 or 6 articles from that world to my current world using the 'Move Article to another world' tool under the Special Actions tab in the article editor. I deleted the original timeline on that other world after completing these transfers, and then deleted that world. After this deletion, I created a new timeline in my world, connecting events with related locations. Since creating this new timeline, everything single settlement article has the Related Historical Events duplicated. This is true of both transferred settlements, as well as new settlements created after the transfer was complete and the new timeline was created.   When you click on these duplicate events, one link will take you to the related event on the timeline, while the other link will take you to a 404 error. I asked for help in the discord and was suggested to report here, as the page taking you to the 404 error, has an archived url, as pointed out by Rin/2Nerds | talos/yahn. The steps to find this error are below.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Go to any settlement article, such as Weltondale:
  • https://www.worldanvil.com/w/terramora-collin24684/a/weltondale-article  
  • Navigate to the sidebar under Related Historical events. The events here will be duplicated.
  • One link will take you to the correct event page (in this case it is the bottom entry: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/terramora-collin24684/h/e0d3359d-e912-491a-98ec-28aa5e4e9d9a
  • The other link (in this case the top entry) takes you to a 404 via and archive url: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/terramora-x-collin24684-archived-1710826802/h/b9c43d14-dfa7-437d-a6d8-50de0a818da2
