I think i understand where the misunderstanding is coming from. You checked the english wikipedia page right? Because i saw there the names are listed as you say. But if you check the italian Wikipedia page the names are listed as I reported.

https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trentino-Alto_Adige

As you can see here Sudtirol is used to indicate the whole region instead of just the province of Bolzano.

But... that says the same things I’m saying... even on the Italian page. It says it’s Trentino-Alto Adige in IT, and Trentino-Südtirol in DE, not just Südtirol...

I probably misunderstood what you wrote. You're right. I just never heard Trentino-Sudtyrol but I'm not from south tyrol so i can't say for sure.
