It says in WP voice: "People described as being left-libertarian or right-libertarian generally call themselves simply libertarians and refer to their philosophy as libertarianism."
That simply isn't true, in my (european) experience (and it's uncited). In my youth, libertarians were all "left-libertarians". Market capitalists appropriated the term, and now no self-respecting socialist would dream of calling herself "libertarian". Libertarian leftists call themselves "anarchists".
It says 'Left-libertarianism also includes "the decentralist who wishes to limit and devolve State power, to the syndicalist who wants to abolish it altogether. It can even encompass the Fabians and the social democrats who wish to socialize the economy but who still see a limited role for the State."'
The quotation is cited to a Peter Marshall, who seems to be a travel writer. It's complete nonsense; supporting devolution doesn't imply any kind of libertarianism, and no Fabian or social democrat would describe their views as "libertarian". Many anarchists would see Fabians and social democrats as their opponents.
[Edit] The "Tomchuk Travis" reference makes this point about "Demanding the Impossible", Marshall's book on the history of anarchism; his notion of anarchism is very loose. Accordingly, he's not a good source on definitions in this field.
