Most pages that come with the distribution *are* in PmWiki/ .
I believe the current ratio is 72 to 5. :-) :-)
The real question is: when someone first installs PmWiki, what page
should they be taken to first? PmWiki.PmWiki is a bad choice, because
the new admin will start creating pages from that page and their
initial pages will all end up in the PmWiki group, necessitating a
cleanup later.

At the top of *which* page? PmWiki.SideBarExample? When does that
page get loaded? Surely PmWiki shouldn't be configured by default to
display PmWiki.SideBarExample in the left bar, thus *requiring* someone
to modify $PageLayoutFmt[] in config.php to get rid of it!

You see the text of Main.SideBar without the redirect.
Redirects, includes, [[noheader]], [[notitle]], and other BrowseDirectives
only work in the main browsed page.
