Details

It appears that gnuplot can use a datadir redirection in the configure stage of the PKGBUILD as per the docs, The current PKGBUILD is not. It is placing the "help" file (gnuplot.gih) directly into /usr/share instead of /usr/share/gnuplot as per arch linux file placement guidelines (rules). (The help file is used instead of a man page.)

I have NOT tested this, but the docs *specifically* suggest using the configure option for placing this.

TIA
