What is going on?

SOLUTION
I can search the wiki if I enter the search term and hit Enter on my keyboard. Or if I click on Search.

Oooh. Hold up.

I can search the wiki if I enter the search term and hit Enter on my keyboard. Or if I click on Search.
If I use the mouse button to click on that dropdown-like window below the field which reads

Search for pages containing timeshift

, then I get the error!

Unfortunately MediaWiki hardcodes the $wgScriptPath used by Wikimedia Foundation ("/w") in some places in the new theme.

Until a workaround is deployed or it's fixed, remove "/w" from the URL manually. E.g. in you case: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … =timeshift

I suppose I rather refrain from removing that "/w" string, it certainly seems rather tedious to do.
I think I will stick to simply hitting Enter or the search button.

Thank you for the quick reply.
