Spouse vs Financially dependent

I am working on my visa application (main applicant) and is stuck on the following problem.

In the "Spouse/partner details" section, the system asks for the spouse's details, such as her name, her passport number, will she be travelling to the UK with me, etc.

The next section is the "Dependant details" section, which asks:
"Does anyone rely on you for financial support?
Include both those travelling with you and those who are not.

This could include:
- Children under 18
- Children over 18 who live with you at home
- Children who you look after all the time
- Older relatives who need you for accommodation or other support
"

I have the following questions:

1) Is the "Dependent details" section for all dependants, including a spouse/partner, or is it for other dependants, except a spouse/partner? Given that my wife is financially dependent on me (she is a housewife), do I need to repeat my wife's information here even if it was provided in the previous section (the "Spouse/partner details" section)?

2) If my wife is not added to my application's "Dependent details" section, is she eligible for applying a dependant visa? If she is eligible, does she need to provide her financial evidence (e.g., bank statement under her name), or my financial evidence is sufficient?

Yes. As it says, it includes the people listed, it is not restricted to them.

Either, as part of her own application.

Thanks a lot.
