has links to 'Official Installation Guide' and 'Unofficial
Beginners' Guide'. We can keep the 'official' part, so we
can say: "don't follow some Youtube guide, read the official
one in the wiki", but calling Beginners' Guide unofficial is
unnecessary.
There used to be a strong division between the official guide maintained in git and the unofficial one maintained directly in the wiki but now they're both maintained in the wiki so I don't see the need to use the word 'unofficial' anymore. In a way the whole wiki is unofficial, it's not maintained by the developers, but IMHO stressing that the beginners' guide is unofficial does disservice to the effort. I guess many (most?) people find the beginners' guide through the wiki main page or through Google, not through the Arch Linux main page, but still I'd like the 'unofficial' part to go. |

This is probably why it's called unofficial even though it's quite complete and useful.
Anyway we're _not_ discussing whether to remove "Official" from the Installation Guide's link, we're only requesting to remove "Unofficial" from the Beginners' Guide's link, which is not necessary, since like I said the two articles are not in competition with each other.
* "Official Installation Guide" -> "Installation Guide"
* "Unofficial Beginners' Guide" -> "Beginners' Guide"
I'll take the patch and make this additional change when applying it.
