The pirate code referred by Exquemelin was made known to him after sailing with Morgan, and it's known that different pirate captains had different codes, so it's perfectly possible that he wrote that version. And even if he didn't, the sentence can be changed to "the code Morgan used", there's no need to just delete the whole Trivia.

The second point is false, not "everybody knows" the years when Morgan and Roberts were born and died, don't asume that everybody has he same knowledge as you. Only the ones that are versed in history of piracy or that have bothered to google the dates could know that; which is very likely not even the 1% of the visits this wiki receives. For most people, their only knowledge about pirates is what they have seen in movies and popular media. People read wikis looking for information they don't know, and that's a very interesting detail they probably don't know.

The fact that Morgan's and Roberts' codes didn't include the parley unlike their movies' counterparts is notable enough because, again, people don't know the difference between the real pirates and what the movies tell them, so they may wrongfully believe that the parley was a real pirate thing. I myself thought that when I watched the movies and didn't know the truth until I made my own research years later. I would have liked to see it clarified somewhere, and this wiki and that particular article is the perfect place for it.
