Are there any specific pages that suffered such removal/poor rewrite?
In a decade of reading arch wiki here and there there were changes, e.g.
[Installation guide] and Beginners page which was huge and contained a lot of
great info, which is now gone and separated to e.g. General recommendations -
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations>.
But in any other specific pages, AMD, specific Laptop stuff, etc, I didn't see
valuable info being removed.
I only have a positive experience, figuring something out, making quick notes
on the discussion page, and then discussing it on #archlinux-wiki and together
choosing different wording or place.
Many example, RAID, FakeRAID, Networking, ....
My e-mail become full of notifications from the wiki that my contributions
were removed. A quick search of the arch-general archive including
"drankinatty wiki" will disclose a lengthy history.
