Even if we were to consider this to be an important factor to this particular issue--and I maintain that it isn't one--your interpretation also suggests that there are users listed on omnipotence page who violate the standing definition, albeit in another manner.

Meta-fictional powers are the writer fooling around, and FT characters are simply their in-universe proxies. They do not possess any fiction-transcending abilities, they are simply puppeteered by the writer to deceive readers into believing so. Actually, there isn't mutual contradiction between possessing something and being author's puppet unless the power's definition explicitly contradicts the notion; that's why the issue of autonomy is of no consequence to the issue at hand. Yes, the author(s) made Deadpool address the readers / viewers as a prank, but that doesn't change the fact that the character then does it. The author(s) cannot make the character actually come out of the story for obvious reasons, which is why the 4th Wall Awareness is as far as they can go with this prank, but that doesn't stop them from defining concepts for more intrusive powers and attributing them to their characters--which is what this wiki then reflects.

PS: If I'm not mistaken, you have yet to answer my earlier question concerning the Deadpool, and whether or not he addresses the readers / viewers in your opinion; you may have missed it before. Answer to this should be sufficient indicator for whether our opinions differ on a fundamental level, or whether there is merely an issue in the following rationale.
