ImportantInformationFirst is a fundamental principle of communication. We find it in many places outside and inside of wiki. It's so trivial that we hardly think about it.

Examples outside wiki

Newspapers put the most interesting story on their front page.
Newspaper stories lead with the most pertinent information.
Book authors attract the attention of their readers with their first sentence.

Examples inside wiki

The wiki starts with the FrontPage.
