[Tagging] type=bounday

[nwastra nwastra]

The tag boundary=forest is approved   
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dforest

I notice in the 'How to map’ section that type=boundary and boundary=forest are both mandatory.

Previously when mapping protected area boundary relations, I added the tag type=boundary and boundary=protected_area

If the boundary was a simple single line polygon and a relation was not needed, the tags are added to the line forming the ring (ie not a multipolygon kind of geometry), 
and I was of the opinion that the boundary=forest can be added but type=boundary tag was not added

ie the type tag is only added to relations.

Am I misinformed and should be adding both type=boundary and boundary=forest to simple polygons of delimited forests that don’t require a relation as well as those that are a multipolygon kind of geometry needing to be mapped as a relation.

The above wiki link is not clear to me in this regard.
