ASP.NET MVC route map

Question

Please help me to correct my ASP.NET MVC Route Map.

I've got a menu item with an ActionLink:
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Articles", "List", "Article")</li>

On the Home page it looks like: localhost/Article which is OK.

But on the concrete Article page with URL localhost/Article/List/11 my menu link is the same: localhost/Article/List/11

But I need localhost/Article

My route map code is as follows:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Article",
        url: "Article/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Article", action = "List", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}

Here is controller code:

public ActionResult List(int? id)
    {
        ArticlesDataManager artMgr = new ArticlesDataManager();
        ArticleViewModel art = new ArticleViewModel();

        art.Articles = artMgr.GetLastArticles();

        art.Article = (id == null) ? artMgr.GetLast() : artMgr.GetArticle((int)id);

        ViewData.Model = art;

        return View();
    }

my problem was solved by changing my route map:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
               name: "ArticleByFirst",
               url: "Article/{action}/",
               defaults: new { controller = "Article", action = "List" }
           );

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "ArticleById",
                url: "Article/List/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Article", action = "List", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }

And my menu-link looks like: <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("ArticleByFirst", new { action = "List" })">Articles</a></li>

And my item-link is: <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("ArticleById", new { id = item.Id })">@item.Name</a></li>

It's not good, that I can't choose name of Route Map in ActionLink.
