The wiki is a bit conflicting here. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmini_roundabout says If there is only a single vehicle, or two vehicles traveling in opposite directions, it is common – but not necessary legal in all countries – to drive straight across the middle rather than going around. Whereas the German translation only said that you "can" go over the centre, not that you usually would. I adapted the German translation to more closely follow the English text. Further down, the same page says A roundabout is a one-way street with right-of-way and a non-traversable centre island. Which if taken at face value would make any roundabout, however big and however many roads join there, a "mini roundabout" if the centre is traversable. The roundabout in the Mapillary images that Paul Johnson posted seems to be one with a traversable centre. At the same time, I would not expect my satnav to ask me to "turn left" here, but rather to take the nth exit at the roundabout...
