Requested reviews:
  Widelands Developers (widelands-dev)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands-website/add_DISPLAY_hint/+merge/296491

If wl_map_object_info fails when running update_help on the website, the error message gives a hint how to possible fix this.
