If I am understanding you correctly, you interpreted that as saying that the
"utility patents" that can be demonstrated on the web are design patents. It's
the other way around - The utility patents are the ones that are not design
patents.
The Wikipedia article is saying that in the US the name "utility
patent" is used to indicate that it is the ordinary kind of patent (the primary
meaning) and not design, plant, etc.
It is explained much more clearly at
the US PTO site at

of Patent Types

What stood out for me:
...are sometimes called petty
patents...
Now, I know petty is most likely being used in the second or third sense
here, but it did rather strike me that the whole Apple v Samsung case has been
rather petty in the [fourth or] fifth sense,[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
