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.
• RecentChanges starts with the newest entry (typically).
• DocumentMode comes before ThreadMode.
• pages often start with a PageIntroduction.
