Though a bit later there is a dedicated page linked for how to create a USB flash installation medium, which oddly discourages the use of Etcher, given that the official guidance failed, while Etcher worked. That is, the Installation page leads you to the download page, which mentions how you can create a bootable USB stick with dd, so you think you’re done. You do get the necessary info, but it might not be the most helpful info yet.
The info is there, but the structure is sometimes lacking.
This already shows a shortcoming in the Arch Wiki. But following recommendations using balenaEtcher for creating the image worked without issues. a bootable USB stick, a first try failed with a corrupt image. Though the wiki describes the dd(1) command for creating e.g. Getting the install media can be done via http direct download. The steps there go from getting the install media and booting it, partitioning the disk and installing necessary packages, which will end up in a minimal install where you get a login prompt on the shell. A first point of call can be the Arch Wiki.
