Did anyone look in the ELisp manual before writing about this issue?
Because there is already a link.  The ELisp manual says in its first
chapter, "Introduction":

     This manual attempts to be a full description of Emacs Lisp.  For a
  beginner’s introduction to Emacs Lisp, see ‘An Introduction to Emacs
  Lisp Programming’, by Bob Chassell, also published by the Free Software
  Foundation.  This manual presumes considerable familiarity with the use
  of Emacs for editing; see ‘The GNU Emacs Manual’ for this basic
  information.

What else is missing?
This bug report was last modified 4 years and 170 days ago.
