I think the changed line should explicitly mention "dblink module",
otherwise it's easy to miss that dblink() comes from contrib.
Especially since the target page of that link:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/contrib-dblink.html
doesn't mention the words "contrib" or "module" anywhere (most other
contrib modules have a header saying "Appendix F. Additional Supplied
Modules" at the top of the page, but the dblink function pages don't
since they're subpages of
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/dblink.html ).
