Problem with Links to FamilySearch [closed]

I have started helping another genealogist improve his source citations. He first copied the URL and pasted the link as the source. Some get to the source on FamilySearrch; many bring up the result "Page not found; Error 404". Does someone know what's causing this?

Why aren't they copying the full citation, instead of just the link?

For the link on Baumeister-170, it looks like there was an extra slash mark in the url that shouldn't be there. The link should be: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:DTKK-VV2M
