As a former Arch user I second that opinion. The wiki is better structured, 
has better contents and is easy to edit anyway. Archlinux wiki is the primary, 
if not the only, source of the documentation, so all the effort is concentrated 
there.

I would love to get better navigation / search in Debian wiki, some sort of 
side bar would not be amiss. What do you think can be done to make Debian wiki 
more usable and more attractive to users/editors?
