The wget manpage is generated automatically from the texinfo-format manual, so patches to the manual aren't usable.
As is typical for GNU software, the manpage lacks a great deal of information that is present in the full manual (the infopage, or the one you find online). The manpage makes a point of stating this. If you want to add a patch that changes the way the manpage is generated from the info page, so that the information is included, I imagine that might be welcomed.
