No, it was just a quick search and replace in order to meet the
deadline today. The ~20 URLs I created today should stay there,
LibreOffice 3.4.4 help uses them. I don't want to convert OOoWiki to
TDF Wiki.

Ideally, help should not reference external (non-localized) wiki
pages. It is not good when help contains outdated information and
up-to-date information is on an external wiki page. I updated 2 topics
in master today, and if time permits, I'll update more.

For the time being LibreOffice help source is in git, in help module.
The online version at help.libreoffice.org is just a read-only copy of
it.

Cheers,
Andras
