given paragraph 1 and 4 of the cub tag wiki i would have guessed that it means " young but furry "

1; " Cub applies to furry characters who are or appear young/underaged. "
and 4; " While most cubs are quite young (4-10, in human years), the phrase cub can refer to all physically immature and legally underage characters, ranging from infants, to underage teenagers. "

then why has post post #3782323 been locked to be young and explicitly not "cub", regardless of it being an "underage teenager" anthropomorphical animal (furry) ?
i feel it was incorrect. but since im not that knowledgeable on tags i'll ask you guys instead

asking here since it's more about the definition of the tag

Imo, the furry/not_furry distinction is not perfect, and this is a good example of that.
On one hand, it's a brown furred, yes-furry character.
On another hand, it's a black-skinned human with few animal characteristic like ears, tail, and animal-like muzzle.

I feel it leans heavily into humanoid than furry, so I understand why lock "-cub".

So, in shorts, if the character has some animal traits, but the majority of the body is human-looking, it's just young, not cub.
If the character has noticeable details of fur on their body(excluding obvious ones like tails, hair and ears), then they are very likely cub.

I'm still new here though, so I could be wrong

Then -anthro should also be locked and it tagged humanoid. Though I think given the body is exactly the same color as the tail fur with no border indicating where it stops being fur, it should qualify as a fur-covered anthro, and thus be cub. But regardless, young+anthro=cub, so either anthro is wrong or -cub is wrong.

The tags for any of Caylleen art are pretty much a mess. Most aren't even tagged with young. The uploader, who is also the artist, appears to have tagged them as anthro when uploading (the presence of cheek tufts, claws, nose, etc. also indicate that it should be treated as such) so cub should probably apply in this instance.

is there a way to ask for a revision of the post? and if so. should i??
