Topic: Split_Form and a Hypothetical Split_Species

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

So, as it currently stands right now, split_form is defined as being a 50/50 split between two different species, not forms. So what I want to ask is... Should a split_species tag be created, to take that place, while split_form gets repurposed for actual form splits, between anthro/human/humanoid/feral?

And if we do use split_species, how specific should it be defined? Should it just be the flat 50/50 split, or would it still count in cases like satyrs, which are often depicted with animal ears and/or horns on an otherwise human head? Could a gryphon with a more defined split between avian and felid halves be counted as split_species?

I'd just go ahead and start using it, but I wanted other opinions on how to define it. And I didn't want to potentially make something that people might see as pointless and cause more work for others by it needing to be aliased away or something. Especially since... as split_form is defined now, just going ahead and tagging split_species on my own might cause confusion.

Other topics (that I could find) that bring up split_species (admittedly one of which was me who brought it up) below:
topic #21532
topic #29582

Any thoughts on this would be nice, though, since split_form has been bothering me for a while.
