Position 0 Google search results from supported wikis with links to the wiki in the preview cause the first of those links to be replaced instead.

Indie Wiki Buddy sees "Goat Butter," which is a link to the Zelda Fandom page for Goat Butter, and as the link precedes the actual article link in the result, a link to the Zelda Wiki article for Goat Butter is shown:

Thanks for reporting this! Will take a look.

The link on "Goat Butter" appears to be inside a <g-bubble> element. So if IWB could exclude any URLs that are children of a <g-bubble> element, that should resolve this issue.

FWIW, Google seems to no longer include the <g-bubble> elements when it serves the "Goat Butter" result, so this is no longer reproducible with that specific search result. It likely can still occur for other searches, so it would be valuable to have another example of this occurring.
