::::::::A better point would be that it doesn't matter how "in" or "out of touch" people are with that community, but that, due to them being little more than a fan group with no officiality whatsoever, it doesn't matter what nicknames they give things.

::::::::Except that it does. Since everyone uses the terms inside and outside drifting, newer players are going to just end up being confused by the poor attempt of this wiki at describing the different drift types. You act as though "drift" and "hang-on" are the official terms, but they're not. Some random employee at Nintendo decided to call them that at the time of the guidebook being written, but Nintendo have since changed their stance to classifying bikes as either standard or sports bikes, so if you wanted to actually use the official terms, at the very least you should change the vehicle type column categories to "Kart", "Bike" and "Sports Bike", as those are in fact the official terms. But even then, I would argue that this doesn't really explain the fundamental difference in how the two bike types drift (but it's leaps and bounds better than "drift" and "hang-on", especially since the hanging on animation is specific to the character, NOT the bike. Characters like King Boo who hang on to bikes when drifting will hang on regardless of if the bike is inside or outside drifting).
