Description

This section of the wiki say :

If you are on Arch Linux, you can install micro using the AUR

The "micro" package is no longer part of the AUR and has to be installed from the community repository instead.

The packages available in the AUR are the development version (micro-git) and micro-nightly-bin.

The README has already been updated so I guess it could be a good idea to remove this part of the wiki, or to update it and to replace the Installation part of the README with a link to the wiki to avoid duplication.

Research direction

Review the wiki's Installing Micro section, especially the Arch Linux subsection, and compare it with the README's package-managers section. Decide whether to update the wiki or remove duplicated installation guidance, ensuring Arch Linux package sources and development packages are accurately described. Done means the documentation no longer says the micro package is in the AUR.
