Yes. The wiki is correct about the _nominal_ size, but it doesn't say "nominal", making the overall claim invalid. If I had a wiki account I'd probably change it right now, but for personal reasons I don't fully understand myself, I seem to treat web pages, including wikis I could in theory edit, as read-only, even if the alternative is replying repeatedly to list threads such as this, vs. a single wiki edit.
