Hi Jesse,
Sound's good to me -- something like:
{{Help|[[Wikipage uri goes here]]}}
You may want to take a look at http://wikieducator.org/Template:Pdf -- which
uses a neat trick where clicking on the image goes to the wikipage rather
than the image page in the database.
This will also help us identify gaps in our training materials.
Cheers
Wayne
