Most wiki pages on problems, theorems, and so forth seem to stick to historicity of the formulation. For example, the traveling salesman problem generalizes far beyond salesmen or bridges, but as originally framed, it was expressed in those terms. Therefore wiki describes it in those terms, instead of reformulating.
Even if philosophers one day become faux pas, I expect the dining philosophers problem wiki to keep the same formulation.
