Even though the true Lord of Winterfell is Bran - Bran is NOT THERE. So, he cant be the "sitting" lord. Until Bran comes back to Winterfell - Jon Snow is the de facto lord. No one south of the wall (except the unseen Howland Reed) knows that Jon is Lyanna's son and not Neds Son. So, even though WE know these things, what is happening in the story has to be based on what is known by those in the story. Even though we believe we know that Rhaegar is Jon's father - it has not been specifically and explicitly made known in the show - or the books for that matter. Right now, we don't even know Jon's REAL name. Some believe its Jahaerys, some think its Aegon. I don't think the wiki needs to jump ahead of what's known in the show to update the pages based on what the viewers know - even though it may be obvious to us.
