Usually the article follows it regardless, and it works for the rest of the articles. I did notice that the JavaScript snippit that is included was the same every time, so I looked where I could find it, and I found it in the original url:
Since you may need a subscription to access this site, I’ve downloaded a raw dump of the source, and can give it to you if you need it, but I did see snippets like this in the html (when I search for the start of that JS):
