On http://www.openstreetmap.org/ there is a link titled "Help & Wiki" 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page)

Nothing here about how to navigate the map shown on the homepage. But 
there is a link titled "Beginners' Guide" 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_Guide). This page 
PRESUMES that ALL newbies primarily interested in editing OSM maps. 
Users are a secondary concern.

Clicking on "Help" shows me my assumption that it would be "help 
concerning the wiki itself" was wrong. 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Help:Contents DOES have a link 
(titled "Browsing") to what I needed.

My proffered solution would be to have separate links to "Help" and 
"Wiki" on the homepage.

An acceptable solution would be add a link before "Getting Involved" for 
"Browsing the Map".
