A glossary is just an alphabetical list of words relating to a specific subject, text, or dialect, with explanations; a brief dictionary. I suppose the wiki part is sort of like a glossary, but overall I don’t think these posts are a glossary. I think you are right, though, that primer is not the best word for it. I changed it to compendium. A compendium is a collection of concise but detailed information about a particular subject.
Compendium sounds far more accurate than both your original term and my original suggestion. Nicely done. Newcomb’s problem certainly isn’t something I’d expect when reading a introduction to what lesswrong is about.
