How do I tag this?

Actually, it applies. Because the Wiki says the only exception to not use this tag is when there's a circular fade-out effect in the border. In the image you shared, there's no such effect.

The problem is that, to me, it seems the wiki is unclear about whether a border has to be an actual line separating two areas of an image. In the case of post #7228895, the two areas are positioned right next to each other and while you can clearly see the division, there's no actual "physical" border between the two. I may be overthinking this but I'd like some confirmation.

No offense at all, but perhaps you're indeed overthinking. If you take ten minutes to see all the images under the tag, there's a great variety of images where the border doesn't physically affect to the characters or the background (For example, post #6178001 and post #6297215) other images where the border was made to emulate a camera effect (For example, post #6522816 or post #4477730), and some images are similar to the one you shared (For example, post #6366143 and post #6442067).

Although, I can't blame you for overthinking. As magcolo said, the tags round image and circular border are redundant and ambiguous about their usage. So, for now, you can add or not the aforementioned tags.

No offense taken. But in the case of post #6366143 and post #6442067, I would definitely tag border and circular border without a doubt. Those two wouldn't confuse me like post #7228895. Just to be clearer, I didn't mean that the border has to interact with the character. Instead, I was concerned over whether the border needs to actually be drawn or not.

It's like the difference between the flag of Japan and the flag of Nepal. The former is like my original post #7228895 while the latter has an obvious blue border drawn. The question would be if border applies to the former as it obviously would the latter?

I see. Okay, I confess I am as confused as you with this topic now, so sorry if I didn't helped you at all. Hopefully somebody else can help you in this thread.

post #7243766

Just curious, I know from above/below is implying you looking at the whole scene from one point, which is usually both the character and background. So how does it apply if the character and background are opposed?

Here you're looking down at the background, and looking up at the character. I know it doesn't have any significance, it's just been bugging me recently.
