Confirming inaccuracy of the page subject

To mention some history, Tcl was one of the first big scripting languages used for serious work, in the form of AOLserver and Storyserver. They didn't open source them soon enough, though, and so they faded from the spotlight.

I agree that this is more "Web programming" than "server-side scripting". However, I disagree with the statement 'server-side scripting IS web programming'. Server-side scripting is a tool or technique that can be used many ways - Web programming is just one of them.
 
Server-side scripting adds dynamic behaviours to a server, and can increase the power and flexibility of an otherwise "static" server implementation. For instance, defining rules for workflow, orchestrating multiple operations for a user of the system, or even defining dynamic filters and criteria for data access.
