Hi Wally,

I think the behavior you are seeing is "expected behavior" (but I agree 
it's quite confusing... and we do want to find a way to improve it for the 
future).

The "Statistics" link in the header is a dynamic link which only appears in 
a few pages:
* On the homepage it links to site-wide statistics (i.e. statistics for the 
Site "object")
* On a Community/Collection/Item page it will link to statistics for that 
object *only*

The "Statistics" link currently doesn't appear on any browse/search pages, 
as those pages don't represent an "object" on which statistics can be 
gathered on.

Looking at our issue tracker, I see that others have reported this as a bug 
already: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1392   It's 
waiting on a volunteer though to find a better way to provide access to 
these "Statistics" without having a link in the header that potentially 
changes based on the page you are on.
