Now we have stuff like reptiles/dragons/birds bunched in with tentacle/insect oviposition? It just doesn't make sense.
Topic: Why was egg_laying merged with oviposition?!?!
Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions
Because oviposition literally means egg laying.
I suppose this should be clarified, but the wiki is pretty clear here: Oviposition is egg-laying of any kind. That is, in fact, the definition.
What you likely mean is the difference between the external "pushing them out" laying and "using an ovipositor or similar appendage to put eggs inside someone", which is the tag egg_insertion (with its own subtags). That is the tag you're looking for to separate the two.
