Arch Devs,
This has been a growing problem over the years. We no longer have a
community wiki, we have a wiki that reverts user contribution and continues to
deteriorate as a result.
Attempting to contribute today to the postgresql page and all additions
were undone again by user:Erus Iluvatar.
Instead of providing concise information on how to initialize postgresql
the wiki instead of providing the example of using the heretofore recommended
sudo -iu postgres to reach the postgres prompt instead refers wiki readers to
a non-specific web page for them to figure it out for themselves. (
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Security#Privilege_elevation)
This is unhelpful. The simple example contributed:
(example: sudo -iu postgres)
was summarily removed.
If Arch no longer wants community contributions to the wiki just make that
a policy so we don't waste time anymore attempting to contribute.
