2026/03/01 - Seasonal digest
As we near the end of winter, here is a digest of the notable changes from the last three months: a huge "thank you" to all community members who contributed during this period.
Following NVIDIA's removal of support for the Maxwell, Pascal and Volta architectures in its
latest driver release
and the
changes in packaging
it allowed, the
NVIDIA
page and all other pages linking to the now defunct
nvidia
package were updated.
Graphics processing unit
was created as a central page about graphics drivers. The content was previously located on the
Xorg
page, making it less discoverable for
Wayland
users.
sudo
and related pages now promote the use of drop-in configuration files instead of directly editing
/etc/sudoers
.
A page for
run0
was created, documenting systemd's
privilege elevation
tool.
Running GUI applications as root
was renamed to
Privilege elevation for graphical applications
to improve discoverability, and thoroughly cleaned up in the process.
The first step in implementing the
Developer Manual RFC
was taken by moving
DeveloperWiki:Staff Services
to
https://manual.archlinux.page/
.
Improving performance#Enabling PCIe resizable BAR
was updated with instructions for
NVIDIA
users on enabling
resizable BAR
as it is disabled by default.
Plasma Login Manager
went from not having a page to being linked as
Plasma
's preferred
display manager
.
All links to
archive.today
and its mirrors were replaced or removed, following
Wikipedia
's example. We will not redirect our readers to a website that hijacks users' computers to run a DDoS attack.

2022/07/08 - Seventeenth birthday!
What an achievement it is to keep a documentation project in such good health for so many years, in a field that sees significant change and advancement every day! Such a feat does not happen autonomously though (not yet): dozens of enthusiastic humans volunteer some of their precious time and knowledge every month to boost the ArchWiki back to its orbit, so thank you all! And today is an excellent opportunity to mention in particular two members of the
ArchWiki:Maintenance Team
,
User:Nl6720
and

2018/12/16 - Official translators
Translating our most important articles, and in some cases many more of them, into languages other than English is a remarkable work that has always been conducted quite a bit in the background in the community, sometimes within a self-organized
Translation Team
, other times simply by passionate individual efforts. The Administrators fully support translation work, as long as it is conducted in a way that is compliant with the wiki's general language-agnostic style and editing rules, starting from
Help:i18n
. To give it official acknowledgement, a new "translator"
role
has been introduced to thank and symbolically reward users who have made and will make the greatest contributions towards this goal.
The initial selected translators are (in alphabetical order):
AlonsoLP
,
ArchLinuxUser
,
Fengchao
,
Josephgbr
,
Kusakata
,
MrReDoX
,
Pedro
,
SlavMetal
,
Tuxpain
. Some notable historical, though currently inactive translators have also been awarded the role:
Agent0
,
Blackx
,
Hilinus
,
Kycok
,
Maveloth
,
Skydiver
,
Umby213
,
Veleno77
,
Vladimir Shatalin
.
It must be noted that the official "translator" role is independent from the membership in a Translation Team: some languages may not have enough users to constitute a team, nonetheless exceptional individual efforts will still be recognized; equally, membership in a Translation Team is not subject to the assignment of the "translator" role: the teams are still completely free and even encouraged to independently invite more users to join, in an effort to better coordinate the translation work; the most active members will eventually be awarded the official role. Novice translators will also hopefully benefit by seeking advice and guidance from the experience accumulated by the official translators.
Again, thanks to all wiki translators for your help to overcome language barriers to make the ArchWiki available to as many people as possible!

2016/07/08 - 11 years of ArchWiki
Today the wiki celebrates 11 years of activity, an amazing accomplishment for a project that is kept alive solely by volunteer contributions! As it has always been, there's a lot
going on
even right now while you're reading: in particular you should be aware that the
Beginners' guide
and the
Installation guide
are just about to be unified into a single article, after years of attempts and small shifts towards this goal; if you want to participate, see what's happening in
Talk:Beginners' guide
, and possibly also refer to the
mailing-list thread
or the special wiki birthday
forum thread
. And don't forget the brand-new
#archlinux-wiki
channel if you feel more at ease on IRC.
If you have ever authored an edit in any of our thousands articles, even if only once, even if only to make a small correction,
thank you
!!! The value of this work is the sum of innumerable small contributions from people who don't follow the "somebody else will fix it" philosophy: most people here are not PhD's in Computer Science, we simply share a passion for Arch Linux, the broader FOSS community and pretty much anything related to the digital computing world, therefore if you think this sounds like you but you've never bothered creating an account, take the few seconds needed to
do it now
, and start sharing your skills and knowledge, whatever their size is; you will find that the more you
contribute
, the more you will learn and improve yourself too, so it's a win-win choice ;)
Anyway, Happy Birthday ArchWiki, and everybody keep up the good work!

The ArchWiki has thousands of articles, and hundreds of different users edit it every month: keeping the whole project together, ensuring that it always sails in strict accordance to Arch's principles, is a task that requires a great deal of organizational work behind the scenes. As an official Maintainer for a long time,

2015/07/08 - ArchWiki turns 10!
Exactly 10 years ago, on July 8th 2005, the ArchWiki was
installed
with the MediaWiki engine: since then,
more than
20,000
users created their account and made almost 400,000 edits that evolved the initial blank page into this fantastic
documentation resource that innumerable Arch and non-Arch Linux users every day browse from all around the world.
For the future, several major improvements are already under discussion or planning in various talk pages, with
Help talk:I18n#Language namespace(s) in place of suffixes?
,
ArchWiki:Requests#Should we remove or archive obsolete articles?
or
ArchWiki talk:Maintenance Team#Reorganization
being only some notable examples. For this anniversary,
ArchWiki:Statistics
has been expanded, and many more ideas have been brought up in its talk page to better show the evolution of the
wiki and try to give something back to the most active contributors.
If you did not make it to get involved in the community of contributors in the past decade, you are very welcome to become one of the first ones of the decade
that has just started! The wiki syntax is very easy to learn and use, you can find an introduction in
Help:Editing
, and
ArchWiki:Contributing
is there to
give you plenty of inspiration about how and where to start. If you have any questions, just ask in the talk page of one of those pages, or any other
that suits your specific issue, and the wiki staff, or possibly other proactive users, will try their best to give you a quick and accurate answer.
Well, Happy Birthday ArchWiki, then! The celebrations will go on until the weekend, as for example the 11th is the anniversary of the first edit: if you want, you can take this chance to make a small gift edit to your favorite article ;) Let's keep working together to make this project grow better and better for the next 10 years and more, thanks everybody!

2015/05/24 - Restyled AUR template
Template:AUR
has been restyled with the addition of an "AUR" superscript to make AUR packages look different from official ones: this has the consequence that almost all articles mentioning AUR packages now have a redundant "from the
AUR
" wording that needs to be removed. In the same fashion, the "from the
official repositories
" wording associated to official packages is deprecated.
Describing how to install a package is still forbidden by
Help:Style#Package management instructions
but, for both official and AUR packages, you can use the "install" word as a link, e.g.
[[Install]]
, to point users to the
centralized package installation instructions
.
This change was discussed and voted in
Help talk:Style#Pkg and AUR templates: add icon, make them look different

The ingredients of a healthy and successful wiki are both the addition of fresh, up-to-date content (the "attack"), but also protection from counter-productive edits (the "defense"). While "attacking" may be the most entertaining part, please be aware that helping "defend" the ArchWiki is of invaluable importance and fortunately also extremely easy!

2010/01/14 - Internationalization guidelines
As you may have noticed, many articles have been moving around this past month; especially non-English ones. This was due to a recent discussion on the topic of ArchWiki internationalization. As a result, new guidelines have been drafted and a major transition has begun.
For more detail, please see the related
forum thread
and
Help:i18n
. Briefly, the following standards have been set:
Non-English article titles should be of the form
Title in English (Language)
, where "Language" is the localized spelling of the language.
Localized titles can and should still be created, but only as redirects to the English-named article.
Template:i18n
should be used in place of the old
Template:i18n links start
,
Template:i18n entry
, and
Template:i18n links end
combination.
We hope this does not alienate or inconvenience international users; these changes were made primarily to facilitate wiki maintenance and administration and to simplify inter-language linking. Thanks for all your translations and other contributions thus far, and please continue making ArchWiki the envy of distributions world-wide!

2008/05/01 - Don't just give me the 'how' - give me the 'why'
A wiki is a collection of knowledge, most of which ends up being how-tos, which is to be expected. Let us always remember to add the 'why' to our how-tos. Explanatory information always goes further toward imparting knowledge than does instruction alone. Adding explanatory wiki articles is also welcome. Why not add one if you are qualified?
Thanks for the recent increase in contribution to the wiki! Please keep the knowledge coming.
