[Announcement] WIKI: Contributions welcome

[pukkandan]

I have created a wiki for yt-dlp: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki

It is currently empty and I don't plan to personally add much content to this. Instead, I am expecting community contributions. You can contribute by making a PR against https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp-wiki

Note that this is to be used as an addition to (and not a replacement for) the official documentation.

Some ideas for what it could contain:

• Third party installation methods
  • Mention chocolatey for installation on Windows #4821
  • Documenting third party packages #1313 / Add AUR package to README installation instructions #1314
  • README.md: Added installation via PPA instructions... #2154
  • macOS Availability: MacPorts #1395
  • Switch to official homebrew formula #864
  • Added Scoop as installation method #1112
• FAQ:
  • FAQ section from 🚨[IMPORTANT]🚨 KNOWN ISSUES/FAQ #3766
  • https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#faq
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedl/wiki
• GUIs, scripts, and other related tools

  • https://discord.com/channels/807245652072857610/922145164108120074

• Common commands, tips and tricks
  • Pinned messages in https://discord.com/channels/807245652072857610/807247901981016094
  • Some examples from the readme can be moved to wiki?
• How to get help
  • Github - Bug reports and questions; You are expected to have done your due diligence
  • Discord/Matrix - Easier way to get help, but bug reports are not tracked
  • Reddit: Unofficial community

the installation page has problems in the "AUR" section it links to the yt-dlp-git aur package but has installation instructions for the yt-dlp package in the main arch repos, if it was a aur package you would not be able to install it with pacman

and to clarify:
yt-dlp was moved from the AUR to the arch community repo months ago.
so the pacman installation command is correct, but stating that yt-dlp is in the AUR is incorrect

As I said in the post, make a PR against the wiki repo

I see an empty page after login at both URLs
