&gt; Wiki housekeeping<p>&gt; Help clean and maintain the ArchWiki<p>I&#x27;m always impressed by how useful and in depth the arch wiki is, sometimes it&#x27;s the best resource (or has the best background information) even when having a problem with something in another distro

<i>Coding</i> is a dead link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;whatcanidofor.archlinux.org&#x2F;coding" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;whatcanidofor.archlinux.org&#x2F;coding</a>.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.archlinux.org&#x2F;archlinux&#x2F;neoasknot&#x2F;-&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;src&#x2F;content&#x2F;children" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.archlinux.org&#x2F;archlinux&#x2F;neoasknot&#x2F;-&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main...</a> looks like it might be the implementation for the site. The likes of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;whatcanidofor.archlinux.org&#x2F;coding&#x2F;Rust" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;whatcanidofor.archlinux.org&#x2F;coding&#x2F;Rust</a> do work.

It’d be nice if they display how many options were under each section without you having to click it. There’s my contribution as UX designer.

This is a good way to get help from the community.

Interesting that there&#x27;s no mention of giving money. I guess their hosting and other expenses are well covered?

&gt; Ask not what your Arch Linux can do for you – ask what you can do for your Arch Linux.<p>Joking aside, I wish I&#x27;ve known Arch many years ago in the university, where I could actually do more for Arch, than just using, and this page structure would be certainly helpful.

The wiki, including installation instructions, are atrocious. KISS: Keep it simple, stupid. Nobody has time to read 30,000 pages to install an OS. One page, numbered points, in order, with only the required info, and all the required info. If it requires searching somewhere else, then you did it wrong.<p>And forum&#x2F;community responses such as &quot;WHAT?! You didn&#x27;t read paragraph 34543.532.3452 of page 342534 of the documentation, reachable by clicking through 300 links starting from paragraph 2343 of the instructions?! OMFG! I don&#x27;t have time to respond to people who don&#x27;t even read the wiki! Even though I spent ten minutes typing this reply, and I could have simply responded with one sentence which would have actually been helpful! No! I don&#x27;t have time for that! Read the wiki! READ THE WIKI!&quot; Seriously, those people are massive internerd losers.

My contribution to Arch has become trying to convince people to go to NixOS lol

All that rock solid distribution, and mentoring, too?
