That is only for Indefinite Leave to Remain, not dependent visas. To quote the the page you linked to, right in the first paragraph it states:

Gov.UK wrote:"You might need to prove your knowledge of the English language if you’re over 18 and applying for citizenship or to settle in the UK (known as ‘indefinite leave to remain’)..."
