We should include that info in About the role as well (mission, history, impact). However we must not include application instructions or links? The link is maybe okay but it's not boilerplate; it's a link to learn more.

The link is not application instruction; it's just a link to learn more. Might be okay to keep. But we could drop it as it's not essential? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is substantive? It's a reference; maybe we keep it but as plain text? It's a URL; we could keep as plain text.
But we must not include any markdown. We'll just include the URL as plain text inside
