I was a little irritated that the footnote doesn’t disappear when you click on the link in it. Of course, clicking somewhere else once is no problem, but I thought I’d mention it anyway

small administrative note.
Even though this is technically UX, generally UX is what our designers triage, and in this case the bug is in the hooks footnote has into the Ember router. (or is missing)
So the fix here is going to need an engineer.
Moved it to bug and alerted the right engineer, we should get is sorted in the next few weeks.
