I'm the kind of person who explores every nook and cranny of a webpage though so I can't speak for how easily the human eye is drawn there. As for the wiki itself, I agree that it's not entirely clear right now, but if you look at the pending revisions for the main wiki page, Tim already submitted a revision with a link to his article included, it's just awaiting approval.
