What do you think? Here are the model that I put in the wiki.
This new use of tag non-anthro mean he would disappear for almost e621.
It is work editing but this does not scare me ^^

*******************************************************

Non-Anthro

Term used for images of a character or scene non-anthropomorphic.

Use:

• It is unnecessary to add the term "non-anthro" if you've already used one of these words:

"Feral" "Human" "animal_ears"

• You understand that this term should be used only in very rare occasion (see examples)

Examples:

See also my idea for using the tag "feral" instead of "Quad" (the feral tag was used before the advent of quad tag): http://e621.net/wiki/show?title=feral

This is how I currently use non-anthro and related tags:

non_anthro - Physical aspect of walking on four legs, not anthropomorphic (like a human)

feral - Mental aspect, if it's a sentient being in the shape of a normal fox, I don't consider it feral. If it acts and thinks like your average furry critter, not like a human, I consider it feral.

Still don't know what to do with quad (seems to be another word for walking on four legs).

You use the term "feral" in you based on a degree of intelligence, which can be difficult to determine in many cases (eg fursona).
This could lead to large error of application.

I see an application most basic, based on the simple visual form. Appearance feral = feral
With the search engine:
I search a dragons quadrupeds, I use the terms: dragon feral
I serach a dragons anthro, I use the terms: dragon -feral
Who will take care of the intelligence level of a character in a picture?
Characters feral intelligence usually have a name and this name will be used in research.

To your use of non-anthro, you're right but it often serves as duplicating with the presence of other tags such as human, elf, catgirl ... That is to say in the increased proportion of cases, if the image is properly taggins.

Quad is a diminutive for quadruped, invented by i do not know who...

catgirl -> combotag
non-anthro -> negativetag

Those are two types of tags I really hate.

I have no problem in changing the non-anthro tag to feral, (Physical aspect of walking on four legs, not anthropomorphic (like a human))

I would also like the catgirl tag to be removed, since it is too often used to refer to female anthro cats, instead of nekomimi.

The application alias for "catgirl" becomes "animal_ears" has already been made (awaiting validation), I do not know if it will have to manually change what already exists (300 posts)

Otherwise, I await advice from other users regarding my proposal to use "non-anthro" (the opinion of a admin would be perfect ^^)

I think the same should go for the other *girl tags as well(foxgirl, wolfgirl, etc.)

ho yes, there are many tags a review, and Alias was created, I did not want any mention here, one thing at a time ^^

For these tags kind foxgirl wolfgirl... alias to --> female.

One might expect, there are already more than four pages of aliases unvalidated ^^'

...and even more implications.

The "implications" is more delicate, the most important are already made I think. There are even some who should not be, like guro/gore (I asked today for this to be changed to aliases...

I use non-anthro when there's NO anthromorphic content whatsoever in the image. (e.g. stick figure only, only humans, scenery. Feral generally doesn't justify this tag due to questionable intelligence) Seeing that the majority of content is anthromorphic, and most people come here for snthromorphic content (guessing), a tag to filter such should be appropiate.

As opposed to humans, which is used when there's at least 1 human in the scene (irregardless of presence of any other anthromorphic content)

I went to reread the article WikiFur to be safe and as regards the term "feral" there is no mention of any intelligence level. Feral is just an alternative to non-anthro. (The problem with the term non-anthro, that it is too generic)

I think this system will offer just better filtering options as preferences each.
And if someone does not know the meaning of the term feral, he'll understand immediately once it clicked.

animal_ears (for the catgirl)
dragon + feral (non-anthro Dragon)
dinosaur + feral (for non-anthro dino)
human + feral or dragon or ect ect as required.

After some time, the tags anthro and non-anthro can become many.
The tag "animal" disappear (replaced by feral)
The tag "zoo" will be used only in the presence of a human (except for pokemon and digimon, this was not animals)
The tag "not_furry" I reserve for things manga / hentai that should really have no place here ^^

I do think that an image should be tagged non_anthro even if there's are anthro characters in it; that would be like not tagging a straight image with the female tag, because there's a male in it as well.

If an anthropomorphic character, this image will not be tagged non-anthro.
(after re-reading, I see that you agree with me ^^')

examples:
feral human zoo http://e621.net/post/show/48007/
feral anthro http://e621.net/post/show/46257/
no tag mentioned in this topic http://e621.net/post/show/48148/

Cool ... I have found that the tag "animal" is in implication with the tag "zoo" ... What happiness this system of implication >_<

Yeah...zoo should mean bestiality, or sexual acts between an anthro and a non-anthro. And yeah, I just meant that if like, there were an image with both an anthro and a non-anthro, it SHOULD have the non_anthro tag. Obviously there shouldn't be a non_anthro tag if there's no non-anthros in the image.

I appreciated the perspective of an administrator.
This is slightly demotivating ...

What? No administrators have replied to this thread until me, right now.

and... Is that all? I took it for a advise positive...

Lol.

FWIW and not that it matters, but I use non_anthro for probably sentient critters with wholly animal forms, but not for humans or kemonom...kiminimin... animal_ears. And animal for likely non-sentient ones. I don't use feral; dunno what it means.

The original terms were non-anthro animal for NORMAL animals, feral for tribal or non-socialized anthros (could include "lost boy" types, aggressive mentally deficient types, etc), and "anthros". The history to it was that, due to the historical origins to certain groups of Anthropomorphic RP -- that being, that furres were created by splicing man and animal together -- sometimes there were throwbacks in the system. They had animal bodies with animal minds, not "civilized".

Thanks to the horror that is the "new generation" (each generation, mind you), mostly due to Furcadia, the terms are misused and then propagated into other things like WikiFur. Wikipedia actually had a huge article about the "rumors perpetuated into truth" thing, though I can't remember where to find it.

In short, "feral" doesn't mean "animal". It means "animalistic anthro".
