This was fixed earlier today[1]. Note that you may need to force your
browser to ignore its cached copy see it (shift-click refresh button
works for me in Firefox).

Thanks for the reminder about the problem :)

It's true that the man pages aren't editable via the wiki, but they are
in the repository and are automatically generated from that (generally
every time someone commits). See the man/xml-source directory in the
repository[2]. Unfortunately, I don't know of a wiki-like way for people
to edit the pages and contribute patches.
