Check also that the link points to an actual building anchor, especially when the icon name does not match the in-game name.

For building icons that do not use "Building" in their file name, the icon or icon type can be used, to either set a custom file or to set a different file prefix.

If icon type is set to holding, it will also link to the Holdings page by default unless overwritten with type parameter.
