The help on the wiki is exactly the same as the built in help, it's just
an export from what you find on Pootle.

As already said numerous times here, the aim is to have the ability to
maintain the help in the wiki and still provide on line and off line
help. Not everybody has a connection at low cost, not everybody is
allowed to access the internet in his work, etc... For the moment,
Olivier, Jay, Lera are working on simplifying the use of the help
authoring extension, but it's until the remaining technical problems
with the export to the wiki are solved.
