- --page-requisites invokes a special kind of recursion (and the manpage
says this), so the manpage is  pretty clear about what's required (i.e.,
yes, you need --span-hosts, just as you would for -r).

The manual makes this even more clear in the following text:

(Note, btw, that the authoritative source for information about Wget is
the info manual, not the man page.)
