If you've been keeping the system updated, shouldn't it say 9.6?

Is there a debian doc that has the recommended source list?
I've found
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02#_debian_archive_basics
that has this list:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib
and https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList that has this list:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main
They don't match, so I'm wondering if there's a place that shows the
recommended, if you don't know any better use this, sources list.
