Rapiers were also used by almost every European country, including Germany (or the Holy Roman Empire as Germany did not exist untill shortly before WWI) if you want examples look into the weapons of the Thirty-Years War. War scythes were often used in peasant uprisings in Europe, and none of these characters will fight like any real life warrior as their weapons do not exist and therefore exert an influence on the style that cannot be imitated and has not been seen before, what the wikia contributor is trying to do is make generalizations that might be helpful in extrapolating the future, so expecting an exact match is silly.
