Honestly, the Installation Guide does a tremendously better job at acting as a "checklist" than the old Beginners' Guide, which was filled with lots of additional noise concerning (arbitrarly chosen) special cases. Just take a look at that beautifully concise "Contents" table on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide. That's one perfect checklist :-) More seriousyl, I think it's a healthy approach to first give an overview of what is required for the installation, and then let the user/newcomer search the information in the wiki on their own (rather than giving them one big chunk where they miss the forest for the trees).
