My proposal:
Use the tag animal for real-world animal depictions.

I don't think that'd work. Many users ignore the wiki. And therefore it'd constantly get tagged for mythological creatures, Pokemon, etc.

Feral only refers to Furry (As in the genre) characters in mostly nonhuman animal-like physical form.
Anthro only refers to Furry (As in the genre) characters in mostly human-like physical form.

How does that differ from how those are currently split? Because as far as I can see, you just described the current usage.

If you're talking about humanoids getting tagged as anthro, and ferals getting overtagged... well, mistags happen. Especially when there are users who don't understand what 'furry' means.

Besides that, feral mistags often result from users overtagging 'bestiality'. Which automatically implies feral.
