Drop B Tuning??????????????????????????

If C Standard is C-F-A♯-D♯-G-C, then wouldn't Drop B be B-F-A♯-D♯-G-C,.

How come Wikipedia says Drop b is B F# B E G# C#.

I'm confused..?

    You don't work it out from C Standard, work it out from Standard E, dropped to Dropped D, and then dropped again two semitones to Dropped C. Dropped C is therefore C G C F A D, then take all the notes down a semitone again to B - B F# B E G# C#.

    Hope you have heavy gauge strings!
