Cessation of defilements is one attribute of Nibbana, but certainly is not everything that Nibbana is all about. Otherwise the Buddha wouldn't have to waste an entire Samyutta talking about it (ref: suttacentral.net/sn43 )

The Nibbana page at dhammawiki.com states:
33 synonyms for Nibbana:
.....
- The destination and the path leading to the destination
(from Samyutta Nikaya 43)
I found the original quote in SN 43.44 and it actually says:
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you the destination and the path leading to
the destination. Listen to that….
“Parāyanañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi parāyanagāmiñca maggaṃ. Taṃ suṇātha…
“And what, bhikkhus, is the destination? The destruction of lust, the
destruction of hatred, the destruction of delusion: this is called the
destination.
“And what, bhikkhus, is the path leading to the destination?
Mindfulness directed to the body: this is called the path leading to
the destination.
“Thus, bhikkhus, I have taught you the destination and the path
leading to the destination. Whatever should be done, bhikkhus, by a
compassionate teacher out of compassion for his disciples, desiring
their welfare, that I have done for you. These are the feet of trees,
bhikkhus, these are empty huts. Meditate, bhikkhus, do not be
negligent, lest you regret it later. This is our instruction to you.”
Each to be elaborated in full as in §§1–12.
So, the dhammawiki page appears to be incorrect.

The dhammawiki page is correct follow to Pāli's structure.
Parāyanañca = Para (next) + Āyana (tourist destination; going).
The path leading to the destination = Magga.
Magga is leading to Nirodha (DukkhaNirodhaGāminiPaṭipadā).
So, Nibbana (Nirodha) is "The destination or object" of the path (Magga).
