If we are taking wikipedia as ground truth, the next line is:

An overfitted model is a statistical model that contains more parameters than can be justified by the data.

Another definition from https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/overfitting#:~:text=Overfitt...:

Overfitting is a concept in data science, which occurs when a statistical model fits exactly against its training data.

We can argue over the precise definition of overfitting, but when you fitting a high-capacity model exactly to the training data, that is a procedural question and I would argue falls under the overfitting umbrella.
