Description:
I was building a program that required "witty" or "libwt", and neither of those returned any results when I searched for packages. It turns out the package is called "wt".

It would be good if this package's description included the keywords "witty" and "libwt", so that it's easier to find.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Arch package naming guidelines leave no room for ambiguities. If something needs 'witty' or 'libwt', they are at fault for calling it that way.

No. Arch's package naming guidelines clearly state that we always give our packages upstream names. Since 'wt' is called 'wt' by upstream, there is absolutely no room for ambiguities. It's merely pronounced 'witty' and 'libwt' is entirely wrong. The latter would be a Debian name or something.
