Confusing Wiki explanation

Past hardware  had serious limitations to it.   SCREEN 0 could be either 40 or 80 characters wide, and 25, 43, or 50 rows tall  -- that's what you're reading on.

What you need to focus on is this line:
QB64 can alter all SCREEN mode widths and heights which may also affect text or _FONT block sizes.

So you can set it to any width and height that you desire.

Then shouldn't the Wiki be brought up to date, to avoid the confusion?
