English Wikipedia is not a good reference for the name; the GSW wiki states clearly another name and "Alemannic" is attested and correct for the family of dialects. "Schweizerdeutsch" is also wrong like "Swiss German" when it refers to Alsatian (neither Swiss nor German for those speaking it): these expressions only refer to "de-CH", not "gsw".
