More lies on the Bitcoin Cash Wikipedia page.

In addition to the current top post on this sub, there are a few other misleading or outright false statements about Bitcoin Cash on the Wiki page. [It's kind of in reverse order from how it appears on the page.]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_Cash#Cryptocurrency_exchanges

On March 26, 2018, KuCoin removed all Bitcoin Cash trading pairs[43] followed by OKEx on March 30, 2018, who also ceased Bitcoin Cash trading pairs[44] (BCH/BTC, BCH/ETH, BCH/USDT) due to "inadequate liquidity".

KuCoin still has all three pairs mentioned, and also has BCH/KCS:

You can see here that the only pairs they removed are obscure alt-coins:

https://news.kucoin.com/en/kucoin-to-streamline-trading-pairs/

Regarding OKEx, their own site, which is actually linked to in the wiki article, couldn't be much clearer:

BCH will still be available for trading in BTC, ETH and USDT markets (BCH/BTC, BCH/ETH, BCH/USDT).

Also:

Bittrex,[40] Binance,[41] and Huobi exchange[42] use BCC as Bitcoin Cash's ticker symbol instead. BCC is more commonly used as the ticker symbol for Bitconnect.

Huobi now refers to it as BCH, not BCC:

Only 19 out of the 115 exchanges listed on coinmarketcap that trade Bitcoin Cash list it as BCC, and most of them are small.

Bitconnect is only listed on one exchange right now, so I don't know how it could be "more commonly used as the ticker symbol for Bitconnect."

This:

BCH currently mines an average of 144 blocks per day, as originally intended for Bitcoin, while BTC's average varies wildly, but is usually about a dozen blocks more per day, on average.

Should be added to the "Move of hashpower and difficulty adjustment" section.

This:

Upon launch, Bitcoin Cash inherited the transaction history of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency on that date, but all later transactions were separate.

Should be reworded to "Bitcoin Cash shares a common transaction history up until the block 478558, minded August 1, 2017. Bitcoin forked the next block and all transactions since are on the respective forks.

There's probably a few areas that could be expanded too.
