Why:

Closes: n/a

After 21f56d5#diff-530dd4e95e916c4d7fcc376e2a4723ea67b121059a2d8eca8ae18624f2722967 , communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/about-issue-and-pull-request-templates.md is a redirect target for /communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/manually-creating-a-single-issue-template-for-your-repository, which is referenced in the target itself. This creates a circular reference.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

This PR removes the full paragraph, as it seems that the legacy path is strongly discouraged after 21f56d5#diff-530dd4e95e916c4d7fcc376e2a4723ea67b121059a2d8eca8ae18624f2722967
