Matt,

Appreciate it that you are sharing the problem and glad you asked.

CurrentPage.MainLink.OwnerPage.GetUrl()

or

CurrentPage.MainLink

Get you into more trouble then you ever want:

1. What if MainLink is not a foundation page, but a module page within
a foundation page, then the link links to a code snippet
2. MainLink return page connection type connected, so if you publish a
status page with following page option enabled, ummm, you will get ALL
status pages published before page build will crawl all links of
connected type.

Solution: use info placeholder, there should be a "Page: URL of
calling page" option.  If you check Mainlink option, the link will
always return to the parent page where the current page's mainlink
is.  Mainlink can be checked and set via Linking and Appearance
schedule.

Best of luck,

-Jian
