The usual rule of thumb with almost all wikis is to talk it out on the wiki. Talk with that user on the article talk page and ping them or talk with them on their user talk page. At the time you made this email, all you did was make one reverted edit (I checked your entire edit history,) and then you complain to arch devs that some of the community disagree with your edit, which seems like overkill.

Arch Devs,
This has been a growing problem over the years. We no longer have a community wiki, we have a wiki that reverts user contribution and continues to deteriorate as a result.
Attempting to contribute today to the postgresql page and all additions were undone again by user:Erus Iluvatar.
Instead of providing concise information on how to initialize postgresql the wiki instead of providing the example of using the heretofore recommended sudo -iu postgres to reach the postgres prompt instead refers wiki readers to a non-specific web page for them to figure it out for themselves. ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Security#Privilege_ele...) This is unhelpful. The simple example contributed:
(example: sudo -iu postgres)
was summarily removed.
If Arch no longer wants community contributions to the wiki just make that a policy so we don't waste time anymore attempting to contribute.
