It appears on my version of that page.

But, this is such a well-documented aspect of Ottoman slavery that it doesn’t depend on any particular Wikipedia page.

This was known to be full-on castration.

The Barbary pirates weren't Ottomans so. They traded with them and, if memory serves well, operated under Ottoman sponsorship at times.
