The other two links are fine. The link I reported is wrong.
Even if it is intended to be relevant to group `Emacs', it is
wrong. Group `Emacs' is a Customize group. The link does not
take you anywhere that provides information about Customize
groups in general or any Customize group in particular, let
alone the `Emacs' group.
In addition, there already is an "Emacs manual" link to the
top of the manual. There is no need for another.
The problematic link should just be removed, if there is no
doc specific for group `Emacs' to which it could be linked.
It does not help, but confuses, as it is now.
