OMG, my apologies!

It is narrative present tense here, sorry.

Per the Manual of Style:

"Narrative present tense is standard for all articles. Only events that took place prior to the time period covered in the source material will be in narrative past tense."

So, your original supposition is right. :)

As for my blunder of a reply, I've been taking part in a writing Discord lately and for the last two days have been discussing the merits of what tense and what person are the most preferred by users. One of the other writers was saying her favorite style was present perfect and our group had a long discussion about that. For some reason the term got stuck in my brain. :D

Again, my apologies for any confusion. :)
