The URL listed under "Link:" The URL in the browser is based on the page title and may break if the page title is changed.  The "Preferred Share Link:" URL is based on a unique key for the page and will always be valid as long as the page exists, even if you move the page or change its name.  This is the preferred link to email to people or use on a web page.
