Right.  The links are meant to go in your administration help section  
of your module help.   The links are live because we needed them to  
be able to auto generate code patches from the handbook module  
pages.   This has been corrected for the Drupal core modules but not  
the contributed modules.   There are some changes with the the export  
formats of these pages which means that the scripts which generate  
the administration help pages inside modules will need to be rewritten.

Right, they are supposed to be your local admin help pages.

In short we now have massive amounts of useful and usable  
documentation to help people use modules and one technical annoyance  
on Drupal.org that requires some dedicated programming to fix.
