The use of the icons area and relation are used inconsistently on the wiki when it comes to boundaries (specifically, relations tagged with type=boundary). It is clear that area applies to relations of type=multipolygon. However, a boundaries are more complex - they are a relation of type=boundary with one or more closed ways and optionally nodes with the roles Role admin_centre and Role label. Are boundaries area, arearelation, or relation?

The table below shows the different answers given on different wiki pages.
