Marginal or conditional?

I wonder, why conditional probabilities are called "marginal" in this article (twice)?

I also wonder, is it notable? Whenever something is defined (and discrete), one may tabulate it, making a table; so what? And if at all this deserves mentioning, why a separate page? Why not a line or two in Conditional probability distribution? There is not enough content for a separate article.
