I'm talking about choosing defaults. The fact that people can customize things
does not have any special relevance to that, and that fact can seem to support
pretty much any point. For example, if we add a help link to wikitools, they
can customize it away if they don't want it.

From an average user perspective, I would not call it basic. I would call it
seemingly comprehensive. There are 8 separate help pages that pack a lot of
information, over 180 works. Adding 1 link to that I don't think makes "not be
basic".

The link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents comes by default, which
is a good idea, but the sidebar link location is a completely unintuitive place
to go afte looking within the wikieditor help ui. A default wiki page has a lot
of things going on, and when your attention directed within the square box of
the wikieditor called Help, that link in the sidebar is not at all easy to find
and visually is completely unrelated. And it may not even be there due to
customization.
