For example, C-h f buffer-list shows this text:

 buffer-list is a built-in function in `C source code'.
 (buffer-list &optional frame)

 Return a list of all existing live buffers.
 If the optional arg frame is a frame, we return the buffer list
 in the proper order for that frame: the buffers in frame's `buffer-list'
 frame parameter come first, followed by the rest of the buffers.

 [back]

The text "buffer-list" in the last sentence is linked to the help for the
`buffer-list' function, not the `buffer-list' frame parameter. Either there
should be no link here (if there is no way to show help on the parameter) or
the link should point to help on the frame parameter.
