SUMMARY
It would be nice to provide Arch Wiki searching as a default webshortcut ("arch") as it is so popular now, even for other distros.
Comment 1 isalliswell 2018-09-24 13:22:34 UTC
Why not include the webshortcut to the wiki of the respective distro which one is using?

You can't find info related to "portage" in Arch wiki and vice versa for "pacman" in Gentoo wiki.

IMHO it won't make much sense to include only for Arch as the concept of "popularity" is in itself vague,for you Arch wiki is popular and for me Gentoo wiki is the best,someone else will chip in with some other suggestion.

I use Arch btw :).

That would have to be done by distros, but it's not a bad idea.

Anyway, +1 for adding the Arch wiki as a default shortcut since it's becoming a sort of de facto crowdsourced how-to for the whole Linux world, not just Arch.
