The only other place I know is Main.WebHome linking to the user guide.
Which is not part of the interface. Thus I'm even more tempted to say
that we shouldn't link to the xwiki.org in the interface as much as
possible.
This is why I created that syntax page inside XE and not pointing to
xwiki.org BTW.

hmm... do we want this? Are we already linking from the source to
external documentation? The risk is
that it's going to be very easy to break the link when we
reorganize documentation and that it requires internet connection.
About reorg I could point to the main page of the Admin guide which is
less likely to change.
I'm not sure that the need for an internet connection is a show
stopper, we should continue to allow ourselves to point to external
urls from the default wiki imho (to point to documentation). note: which reminds me that we must remove the
xwiki.org RSS feed from
XWiki.Admin profile, since it _blocks_ page rendering when
disconnected
I didn't mean tooltip in the literal sense. I meant a Help icon
(question mark) and when you click on it it displays help (in a popup
dialog box for ex) or by inserting some HTML content inside the page
(as Hudson is doing). Would be good to generalize this to all elements
in the preferences for example.
Thanks

The alternative could be to have a tooltip with
the format defined in
there.
I think a tooltip might be a little small to display info about date
formatting.
