Hello,

My issue is similar to this discussion:

> [@On email address change second confirm fails due to email customization](https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-email-address-change-second-confirm-fails-due-to-email-customization/134267/21):
>
> EDIT: Found it. user\_notifications.confirm\_new\_email.text\_body\_template had overridden the URL. You can ignore the rest.

with a minor difference. I gather that for staff and admin there are two emails: confirm old one and confirm new one. @pfaffman found the right template for the second email and I have no issues with that. However, the first email contains a link of the type

`{site}/u/verify-old-email/{token}`

and it is broken. If, however, I replace `verify` with `confirm` it works just fine. The problem is I don’t see an email template for “verifying old email” in admin panel and I wonder if it’s somewhere within Discourse source code.

Could someone please direct me to the “verify old email” template?
