If you dont wanna rewrite it, then post a screenshot of it. Also what system are you using Windows/Linux/MacOS.
I get:

Page not found

Sorry, an error occurred:

 Either the requested page is not yet available in the Wiki,
 or the download from Wiki failed and corrupted the page data.
   You may try Update Current Page from the Help menu.

and I'm using Windows 10, with updates up-to-date.

What version of QB64-PE?

And further, you get the error when?
- pressing F1 while the cursor is on a keyword
- selecting "Alphabetic Index" from the IDE Help menu
- following a link from another help page

Did you check you've any helpfiles in 'internal/help" folder? (should be 800+ files)

As a quick try please also load internal/config.ini into editor and change the protocol from https: to just plain http: in the "WikiBaseAddress" entry. Save the changes, restart the QB64 IDE and try again to use the help.
My version number is 0.8.2
Pressing f1 on a keyword says "Help is not initialised, do it now?"
When I click to initialise I get the same error message:

Page not found
Sorry, an error occurred:

When I try to use any of the options presented from Help, I now get the same message ( i think yesterday I was able to access the "by usage" list).

There are 1438 files (3.12M) in the Internal/Help folder

 I have no idea how to do your last instruction, about changing the protocol of config.ini
