Note! Existing servers has to be updated manually. Consult ticket#930 and documentation: Server configurations to know how.

I think the fix only works for new installations. It will not update the link on existing installations. There are two approaches:
- Fix the code so that it updates the link in existing installation.
- Document this issue in this ticket and tell user how to manually change the link and what the correct link should be.

A suggestion to cover both.
- Similar option like there is for help texts will be put into base.config (server.configurations.update = true|false). Default value for this option will be false.
- Documentation - See ticket#930

A: is not a very good solution. Users will probably not want to loose their custom made "About the server" text and other settings just to fix the bad link. It will require more work to restore those texts than to manually fix the link as in B.
B: There should be a note in this ticket!
Personally I think B is good enough. Just put the correct link in the description part of the ticket (not as a comment since that list is growing large).
