[Dev] Resetting the Parabola Keyring

why are so many getting errors like "marginal trust" and needing to crudely delete and to reset their key-ring?

i made a wiki page for this because i personally have answered this question like 3 times this week but i am not at all sure if it is too much or too little

every time i say try this first:

 sudo pacman -S parabola-keyring
 sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

but they usually say that did not help - so then i suggest a bigger hammer like this:

 sudo pacman -Scc
 sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/gnupg /etc/pacman.d/gnupg.backup
 sudo pacman-key --init
 sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
 sudo pacman-key --populate parabola
 sudo pacman -Sy
 sudo pacman -S parabola-keyring
 sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

ive see others suggest several permutations of these commands so im not sure what would be the most correct - seems to me one would need the updated parabola-keyring before running `pacman-key --populate` - so maybe this should be in this order:

 sudo pacman -Scc
 sudo pacman -Sy
 sudo pacman -S parabola-keyring
 sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/gnupg /etc/pacman.d/gnupg.backup
 sudo pacman-key --init
 sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
 sudo pacman-key --populate parabola
 sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

i dont need an answer here but could someone edit that wiki page and make sure the commands are most robust - and add or delete to the bit that says "This can happen for several reasons such as ??? does anyone know ???."
