Is there any point for an implication to chimera when there is no distinguish between the Greek beast and people mistaking for hybrids?

We use 'chimera' as a tag for hybrids with a "body mixing" somewhat similar to greek chimeras, not for this mythological creature in specific (similarly to how we use 'satyr').

Except I've had to fix people using chimera for "simple", or soft, hybrids. This is a major thorn in the side for that tag, in practice it should be one way but people took it another way. The very fucking literal, and incorrect, way.

I'd instead like to see the separation of the Chimera of Greek mythology and chimeric species / visual chimerism, aliasing chimera into a disambiguation page explaining how hybrids work.

Create a chimera_(mythology) tag?

That could work. We would need a new tag for chimeric creatures and I guess this change would demamd a permission as well.

Better something more specific like 'greek_chimera'; various mythological creatures are chimeric, actually some are even known as chimeras, like chinese chimera (qirin) and japanese chimera (nue).

But those ones aren't actually called chimera, are they?

The answer varies according what you mean by "actually called".

'Chimera' isn't the real name for those creatures, but they tend to be referred as such in occident; actually isn't so uncommon for people to don't know their original names.

As you've said, the chinese chimera is called qirin and the japanese chimera is called nue, while the greek chimera is called... chimera. The chimera_(mythology) tag would only refer to the greek one because the greek one is only called that while all the others are named something else. Simply make chimera_(mythology) a character tag (since there's only one of it) and restrict its use to that chimera only.

The issue I am trying to state is that 'chimera_(mythology)' possibly would be a misleading tag due to the existence of other mythological creatures also known as "chimeras" (despite of these having other names). Isn't hard to imagine one tagging this to a qilin, for example, since it is mythological and also a "kind of chimera".

But it Isn't a character, it is a species and people do create characters based on it. Even if the species have only one "official" specimen, this doesn't justify such kind of treatment.
