What specific section or headline is this issue about?

parameters of WebAssembly.Memory constructor

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Recently, 64-bit address space became available for WASM memory.
You can use it like this:

var memory = new WebAssembly.Memory({ initial: 2n, maximum: 200000n, address: "i64" });

The article doesn't mention the address: "i64"parameter.

What did you expect to see?

address: "i64"|"i32"
when address=="i64" initial and maximum should be BigInt

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
