It looks like the topic title currently has the typo in it:

Looking at the edit history, it seems you accidentally added the d when recategorising the topic:

If you edit the title again to remove the ‘d’, refresh the page, and copy the link, the title in the link should reflect the edit. 👍

As Moin said, topic titles can change over the course of time so the actual identifier that Discourse uses to find the topic is the topic\_id.
