Link icon inconsistency

Question

I'm pasting a table into a page and it has a large number of links.  All links are to other pages in the same Confluence space.  All links are formatted/created the same way in the source file.

When I paste it in, some links have this icon next to them and some don't.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why.  I don't care if they all have it or none of them have it, but I'd love for it to be the same on all of them.  Any ideas?

Excel.  I cleared the table entire and re-pasted.  I checked all of the links before the initial save and they all looked the same.  Just regular URLs.

Then I save, some of them get icons, I edit, and some of them have changed to the shortened version of the URL.

Where are you pasting the table from?

I think, that the "URL format" of the links are actually different. The one that get the icon are correctly recognized as Confluence pages, while the one without any icon is "just a link" for Confluence.

Isn't this possible that the one without any icon is copied from "Edit page" mode, or when you view the "Page properties" screen or something? Just have a look at the URLs and compare two!
