http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html

A request comes to an ip:port. nginx chooses the set of best-match servers
for that ip:port. A request indicates which Host: it cares about. nginx
chooses the one matching server from that set of servers.

Which means (approximately): if you want all possible server{} blocks to
be available to match a request, they should all have the same "listen"
directives.

That wiki page section doesn't any "listen" directives. I imagine the
author thought that that aspect was out of scope for that document.
