A Dutch Roll is a natural oscillatory mode, not a flight manoeuvre (it can be deliberately induced, and you do in flight testing for various reasons, but not as a co-ordinated manoeuvre).

(I did not just edit that page - although contributed to it a few years ago. I do however think that it is correct.)
