Thanks for reporting. We could replace with https://expressjs.com/en/guide/using-template-engines.html, what do you think?

That link is already provided in the end of the template section:
For more information see Using template engines with Express (Express docs).
I think it would be a duplication, and there's a minimal information regarding what template engines work with express (from the provided link):

Some popular template engines that work with Express are Pug, Mustache, and EJS. The Express application generator uses Jade as its default, but it also supports several others.

I'm currently studying the subject (that's why I've stumbled the broken link) so maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong about it.

Thanks. That is so annoying - we only fixed up the original link in March #32461.

I'll fix this with some words about the supported versions. Note, not quite those words though, since we don't want to recommend Jade, which become Pug.

Done in #34527
