The official Arch documentation is the Installation Guide on the Arch Wiki. The supported Arch documentation is the Arch Wiki.
Upstream documentation (man pages etc) is the official and supported documentation.

Re: Which is the official Arch Linux Documentation?
I ask this question because if you look at this post it seems that Arch wiki is not the official documentation:

Re: Which is the official Arch Linux Documentation?
So the only official documentation is the man pages, right?

The Installation Guide is official. Otherwise, the wiki is supported, but official is the man pages, yes.

Also note that you are referencing a thread from 7 years ago! I doubt the wiki even remotely resembles what it was at that time.

Re: Which is the official Arch Linux Documentation?
Thanks guys, I know during the years the wiki becomes more and more detailed and precise but when you need to be sure about a thing, it's better to look at the official information source... and also at the wiki, to better understand, isn't it?
As always, Arch Linux community is available to help! I'm also proud to give a little support when I can.
