why the words wahhabi are edited to Sunni in this site?

when I check my past questions I see words wahhabi are deleted or edited to Sunni.

what is the reason for this action without any kind of notification for asker of question?

does this mean sunni is equal to wahhabi?

is not there any non wahhabi sect in sunni Muslims?

different sects of sunni are:

1- Mu'tazila (followrs of Wasil Ibn Ata) and they divide to 26 sect and generally in 3 branch with leaders. this sect was biased to shia. for political reasons Mu'tazila was completely extincted in 7,8 century of Islamic calendar.

2- Ash'arites (followrs of Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari) and they divide to many sect and generally in 3 branch. some groups were called Hashwiyeh and were enemies of Shia but could not freely advertise. so they called themselves Ash'arites to can advertise. they were actually Salafi and got their beleifs from ibn Taymiyyah and then this sect was continiued by students of ibn Taymiyyah especially Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab. today this sect is expanded in most of Islamic communities by high support of west and Imperialism. today Wahhabism is based on beliefs of ibn Taymiyyah and his followers. but the Ash'arites themselves are highly critiquing the Wahhabism.

3- Mujbireh (believe all deed of human is done by God and human has no free will). today many sunni Muslims believe so.

4- Kharijites they have opposition with shia and believe who do a great sin is Kafir and should be punished in both world and afterlife and because of this beliefs they fought Ali (sa) because they said Ali did sin when opposed to Quran on gavelock in The Battle of Siffin by military of Muaviye. although today such sect not exist but their beliefs exist in some sunni Muslims.

5- Mujassamieh. who believe God is material being and can be seen by physical eye. they wrote many books to prove it. even in Sahih Bukhari some of such Hadith can be seen.

6- Hashwiyeh who were Hanbali in fiqh. today they are Wahhabi's and Salafi's.
