People use language to communicate, not to murmur with few or alone!
Languages develop and new terms are coined all the time. It would be superfluous and overtly pedantic to mention on each article on Wikipedia about how widely, where and what circles a term is used in. On the other hand if you want to write about the terms origins and its history be my guest as those are things that have already happened and cannot change.
