Hello!

I found that the link to the manual of manual admin creation is wrong. It happens when there are no admin emails are present via ENV.

### Wrong link (404)

`https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-an-administrator-account-after-install/14046`

### Good link (close to original)

`https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-admin-account-from-console/17274`

Where did you find the first link?  
It gives you an error because that topic has been deleted.
