Bash does not ship a man page named "wait".  What are you actually
reading?

It's possible that your system is set up with the POSIX man pages, in
which case "man wait" might give you the wait(1POSIX) page.

It's also possible that your Linux vendor has shipped a "bash-builtins"
man page with wait as a symlink to it.  In this case, you'd really need
to speak to your OS vendor about it.  Debian, for example, ships a
bash-builtins (albeit without "wait" as a symlink to it) which is
identified with "GNU Bash-2.05a" at the bottom of it.  I don't know how
old or how new various other Linux vendors' bash-builtins man pages
are, nor exactly where they get their text.
