"Note 5" expands to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#cite_note-5. It should expand to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan#cite_note-5, or better yet, stay on the restbase page.
If it chooses to expand to a canonical Wikipedia view, it must also account for oldid when viewing older revisions. So the "base" url would be something like /wiki/Hulk_Hogen[?oldid=#] instead of /wiki/.

The link itself is correctly set in the source:
<a href="#cite_note-8" style="counter-reset: mw-Ref 8;">
However, it looks like the browser is simply concatenating that to:
<base href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"/>
which makes me think this is a bug on the rendering side (i.e. the browser). Unfortunately both FF and Chromium do that.
@mobrovac, I didn't follow your comment there. Can you clarify because this looks like a Parsoid bug actually.
The issue is the mis-match between the static base href & the relative hash href, as described by @mobrovac. The hash hrefs worked fine when we still used the path-relative links (using ../../ in page titles with slashes), but they don't work well with base href at /wiki/.
T72743: Parsoid base URL should be independent of page is the reason why we changed the base href, so, looks like we should update cite hrefs so they resolve properly.
I think this might be a render-side bug because the browsers just attach the anchor to the base href, but neglect to put in the actual path of the document. The work-around might be to complete the anchor with the page title, but IMHO this should not be necessary, as browsers should figure out themselves that they should simply attach the anchor to the current URL, not the base href.
