My place just put some silicon for bathroom around the bottom. Apparently how you do it here.

That's for the outside edge. The wax seal thingy goes on the inside where the toilet meets the drain hole.
There are also reusable rubber types so maybe there already was one?

Oh that I don't know. It weren't there when they changed it. They just told me they changed the toilet and put a silicon seal around the edge. So they probably changed it as well. Since the other toilet that was there was atleast 10+ years old and started to crack in the bottom.

IMO the silicone around the base isn't a requirement. I think it is useful for uneven tile floors where the toilet might be inclined to rock slightly when weighted or floors where dirt could easily be awept under the toilet base.

Oh thats why! Yeah the tile floor is a bit wonky
