Recently the URLs of all objects have lost their qualifiers pieces, note, exonumia. For example:
Was: N#3683 ("https://en.numista.com/catologue/pieces3683.html")
Now: N#3683
Both links still work but in a forum post the link isn't replaced by the title and on the object's page the post isn't logged.

Hello,
Sorry for these issues. They are fixed now.
For the context, we changed the URL of coin pages (e.g. https://en․numista․com/catalogue/pieces51146.html changed to https://en․numista․com/51146) for two reasons:
- We hope that shorter, cleaner URLs will encourage more people to cite Numista on websites, social medal, talk slides, academic articles, etc.
- We progressively remove the remaining features related to the old collectible types
The old URLs are still working, but now redirecting to the new URLs.
