A hill I will die on: The phrase "TL;DR" is anti-intellectual and not a valuable part of Internet culture to invite into professional spaces. Try "Executive summary" or "Summary"; these produce value and don't discourage the creation of it by suggesting that folks write less.

And at the risk of stating the obvious, teaching coworkers to ask "What's the TL;DR on that?" is teaching them to explicitly tell colleagues "My attention is too valuable to consume your work product; repackage it for me." Consider carefully whether that is desirable.

"Oh no I ask colleagues for that." Start asking for a summary, a précis, the elevator pitch version, a tweet-sized version, etc etc.

Yes, please! And the first section of the FAQ should be "What is FOO? Why would I want to learn about it?", not "Here's how to install it!" or "Here are the bugs fixed in version 11.1" or "Here's how to work around these bugs we know about". For updated-version announcements too!
