Like #28003, but less severe. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Using-the-Compiler-API#using-the-type-checker does actually show usage of the type checker. But it doesn't explain...

• ...what is a "type checker"?
• ...what are some of the the commonly used, relevant APIs?
• ...what is a "symbol"?
• ...what is a "type"?

If we could add that preliminary info to the page, community resources could then link to it more confidently. Context: typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint#7659

Edit: and, I'm not sure where this issue belongs. Seems like other wiki issues on this repo have had traction? But the wiki has its own issues tracker? 🤷
