Yeah - those links are ugly part of the backend that needs fixing so
it uses proper references that will update when the URLSegment is
changed...

Yes, this is for the preview to be able to work at all. Otherwise it
would rely on DNS-names pointing to the instance (which they don't).
It is not the international site though, as the german site is chosen
using the SubsiteID parameter. It is the german site accessed using
the www.libreoffice.org Domain.

The link is not hardcoded to www.libreoffice.org - rather silverstripe
use's the base-url where you're logged in at as base URL, and makes
sure to select the proper subsite using the Query-parameter.

so it is https://<url-used-to-access/admin>/discover/libreoffice/?SubsiteID=20
- and the /discover/libreoffice part is from the entry-box.

All links use this scheme (also the navigation entries, regular links)

So bottom line: When you access it outside of the cms' own preview.
i.e. open http://www.libreoffice.org/?SubsiteID=20&stage=Stage
directly in the browser, you have to add ?SubsiteID=20 parameter
manually to all the links in the page. If you view it in the cms'
preview, it is added for you, so you can click the links in the
preview and get the correct page without having to manually add it.

PS: might confuse people, so in PS :-))
The same also works in the opposite direction. For example you can
browse to http://de.libreoffice.org/?SubsiteID=13 and get the content
of the Finnish page. Or http://de.libreoffice.org/?SubsiteID=3 to get
the old www.libreoffice.org site (with the exception that then the
links in the content part don't have the ?SubsiteID parameter appended
as well, so if you follow links you have to add it yourself/use a
browser-extension that adds it automatically.
