At [this page](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Users%2Fpaths%2F~1admin~1users~1%7Bid%7D.json%2Fget) the documentation states that detailed record for user can be obtained by `GET /admin/users/{id}.json `

Tests suggest this is not correct (returns 404) and the correct URL is `GET /admin/users/{id}/{username}.json `

Should I do a PR on the docs repo? Or do the team consider that the API expresses what the API _should_ do, so this is actually an API bug?
