I suggested that, because it’s a good learning experience.
Writing your first web scraper is fun. (NB: You’ll get blocked if you don’t rate limit the scraper.)
Also better first put the results into your own selfhosted wiki first.
You’ll find out how messy the real world data is.

honestly you’re just describing an absolute hellscape that I am sure I would not be alone in fleeing.

You have everything you need in the Arch wiki and the Cachy wiki.

To some extent - but it’s also true that some ‘Solutions’ here are outdated, and others are often not even ‘Solutions’.

So there’s often a need of applying intelligence, rather than expecting that everything marked ‘Solved’ is actually going to work for you - and to extract that information and only include information that will apply to YOU, at this point in time (because every update is a newly synchronised snapshot) then you’re asking an impossible task.
