[Incomplete]

This forum is primarily for organizing all the relevant discussions about the body types on e621.

Body Types wiki: Tag Group:Body Types

There's a tag group:body type wiki, which is very well-written, and I wonder how much of it is 'official'? Most - all of it (Apr. 2016) is official
(For the sake of clarity, can parasprite an Admin formally confirm that tag group:body types is official in here if they see this? Thanks)

[WIP]

1. How many mutually-exclusive body style tags do we (officially) have?
From the top of my head:

-

n. Semi-anthro discussion: Use, scope, considerations

--

n. Feral: Different art styles and levels of 'sapience'

---

n. Miscellaneous

Figuring out stuff like this is, imo, the first step to sorting all this out and related questions that may arise/have arisen because it's such an uncertain area
