No, their Rindler horizon is the two null lines X=TX=TX = T (the future horizon) and X=−TX=−TX = -T (the past horizon).

I would like do some clarification.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rindler_chart.svg says horizons are half line starting from origin of the IFR. Rindler coordinate has nothing to do with other half part.

In the sense that

not half lines but full lines of X=T,-T seem to have meanings in IFR. Is there definition on half or full ?

Both meanings could be used; you have to determine which is intended from context.
