If the wiki says that then the wiki is wrong. :)

Potlatch doesn't automatically make joins if you drag an existing node onto
another way. (Drawing a way is another matter.) You can do one of two
things:

- Select the top-most way, and shift-click the intersection. A node will be
inserted in all the ways at that point.

- Drag the node onto the way you want to join it to. Press J (for Join).
