I'd say out of all my linux issues (and there have been a lot) that maybe 20% are not answered by RTFM. Less than 5% of those were not answered by the Arch Wiki. The remaining 15% is because I'm doing sysadmin stuff and enterprise docs can be either hard to come by, or just not complete enough (looking at your FreeIPA). I will say that certain Arch Wiki sections are worse than others and take either a bit of trial and error or are just incomplete, but that's also an opportunity to update it for the next person!
At least the Arch Wiki gives me a hint where to look at. Even for enterprise stuff sometimes.
It does help a lot, but when first party documentation is lacking there's sometimes not much you can do without consulting an expert. And sadly I work on my servers in the middle of the night when the FreeIPA IRC channel is dead :')
