Though it’s a bit odd they just didn’t say “717-200” in the article to reduce confusion. https://flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B712

Thank you for the clarification. I should have searched around a bit more for an explanation before complaining about it here.

As soon as I have a little free time I'll do my best to update the relevant Wikipedia pages in hopes fewer people are confused by the nomenclature in the future.
