No, it is correct, Pluto is now a plutino. Kstars was originally wrong calling it a planet, but, then so were countless astronomers.

Sad hobby..

It's a dwarf planet, which means it's big enough to be spherical, not orbiting a recognized planet, but hasn't cleared out all the objects in its orbit.

Depending on how technical you want to be, that also excludes Jupiter, Neptune, and the Earth... but anyway.
