Upgrade StorageBug Report - Zotero Connector Chrome Extension Saves Wrong URL for Many Github Pages
As a user of the Zotero Connector Chrome Extension, I expect that if I use the connector to save a page, then the URL field in the saved Zotero record will match the URL of the current page.
At GitHub, for some pages, the link saved is the link to the repository, rather than the link to the current page. Examples:
1. In Chrome, if I browse to a repository directory such as https://github.com/zotero/zotero-connectors/tree/master/src/browserExt and bookmark the page, the URL field of the saved record gets https://github.com/zotero/zotero-connectors, which will not get me back to that repository directory page.
2. If I browse to a GitHub wiki page such as https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki/Common-build-problems, the URL field gets https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.
I've lost some bookmarks this way.
Please let me know if this is the wrong forum in which to report this bug.
I suspect that some sort of URL preprocessing is responsible for this behavior. Please let me know if there is some feature to prevent this; the link saved is the most important piece of information Zotero collects, and I'd like to control that.

<meta property="og:url" content="https://github.com/zotero/zotero-connectors" />We can extend the existing GitHub translator to all repo pages and try to correct for that (issue created), but I don't know why GitHub is doing that.
