What does it mean when a link has two “number of clicks” badges, such as in [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-install-docker-on-linode-aufs-tools-not-found/18416/15)? They both have the same tooltip (“N clicks”) and link to the same post.

I actually think it’s a bug.

It happens when you have two links which starts with the same substring.

- [Link to a topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-install-docker-on-linode-aufs-tools-not-found/18416)
- [Link to a specific post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-install-docker-on-linode-aufs-tools-not-found/18416/last)

_EDIT:_ here’s what we have in the JSON

```javascript
link_counts: [
  {
    url: "https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-install-docker-on-linode-aufs-tools-not-found/18416",
    clicks: 3
  },
  {
    url: "https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-install-docker-on-linode-aufs-tools-not-found/18416/99999999",
   clicks: 0
  }
]

```
