If possible, it would be useful if the text ‘Silence Watched Words’ in the Description sentence ‘DEPRECATED: Use Silence Watched Words instead.’ linked to: /admin/customize/watched_words/action/silence
Thanks.

Several site setting descriptions reference an admin page by name but leave the … reference as plain text, forcing admins to navigate manually to act on the description's advice. For example, the `auto_silence_first_post_regex` description tells admins to "Use Silence Watched Words instead" without linking to the watched words admin page; `use_admin_ip_allowlist` ends with the textual breadcrumb "(Admin > Logs > Screened Ips)" rather than a link; and `backup_location` mentions "Files settings" with no way to jump there.
Wrap those references in `<a href='%{base_path}/...'>...</a>` so they render as clickable links. The rendering pipeline already supports this: `SiteSettings::LabelFormatter.description` interpolates `%{base_path}` via `I18n.t`, and the admin UI renders the description via `{{trustHTML @description}}` in
`frontend/discourse/admin/components/site-settings/description.gjs`. Existing entries such as `default_locale`, `contact_email`, and `content_security_policy_frame_ancestors` already use the same pattern, so no rendering changes are needed.
The `use_admin_ip_allowlist` entry also drops the trailing "(Admin > Logs > Screened Ips)" breadcrumb, which becomes redundant once the phrase itself is a link.
