Regarding: "Even if the links just point back to the online documentation?"
It's probably not that simple. At many sites the cobbler (web) server may be firewalled off from the Internet. So the documentation would need to be locally available.
Given that (in the Redhat world, at least), we already have RPMs for "cobbler" and "cobbler-web", perhaps there should also be an RPM "cobbler-docs". The source of its data would include pages (or transformed pages) from the wiki; the installed destination of its data would be appropriate points in the system's own man pages, info pages, and website. (That, of course, is a very high-level, blue-sky, hand-wavy, sketchy overview, deliberately avoiding fine detail at this stage.)
