I am sorry, but the changes made in the summer of 2019 are completely wrong. You cannot just take the name of a clearly defined family (Denropithecidae) a apply it to a new clade which contains a part of that family and a huge subfamily of another (hitherto) family. You have to publish this usage first, only then you can use it at all, not to mention in an encyclopaedia. In other words: Dendropithecidae is still only Dendropithecus, Simiolus and possibly Micropithecus (i.e. from the perspective of the 2019 a paraphyletic taxon, but there are also other studies with different results) and the clade described in the current version of this article is an unnamed clade, but definitely not "Dendropithecidae".
