Glad you've not only highlighted problem but worked out how to fix it. For obvious reasons things like this are not stuck out in front of new editors.
One other thing which can be done with these relations is add wikipedia tags of form "wikipedia=en:Mazini Region". These get properly parsed on this website so one can click on them. Mainly this is useful in case other mappers want to check up on a place they're not familiar with: its not meant as dynamic way to look at wikipedia. There are other uses, search uses parameters based on wikipedia articles to weight importance of places & wikidata could be used for things like population.

Thanks for the insight. Obviously changing major administrative area names is probably not something new editors should be undertaking, although I am glad to know the process, since it also works for smaller areas such as parks.
