HI there hpault,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

It's a good article you referenced with If you see a liquid-detection alert on your iPhone

From the article:

If you charge your iPhone while the Lightning port is wet, the pins on the Lightning port or the cable can corrode and cause permanent damage or stop functioning, causing connectivity issues for your iPhone or accessory.

Although you shouldn’t charge your iPhone when it’s wet, you might need to in an emergency. If you reconnect your iPhone to the Lightning cable or accessory, you have the option in an emergency to override the liquid detection and charge your iPhone.

It is recommended to follow the steps in the article "To dry your iPhone" as soon as you can.

Take care.
