Hey all,

I am still relatively new to tagging, but I've seen that these two tags exist, and it seems some art falls under "anatomically_correct", but not "anatomically_correct_genitalia" (the latter seems to have an implication to the former?). The wiki pages don't provide much help because they look nearly identical, so I'm wondering when I am supposed to tag a piece with just "anatomically_correct"? Is there a reason to tag with the former, rather than the latter? If not, should one be made an alias for the other? Thanks to any who helps clarify this for me, I tried searching the forum but didn't see any relevant discussion on this.

Personally I wouldn't ever tag a piece with just anatomically_correct. I'd tag the anatomically correct things a character has (e.g. anatomically_correct_penis), and let the implications add anatomically_correct_genitalia and anatomically_correct as appropriate. If something is anatomically correct you should be able to tag what is anatomically correct. Similar to genitals, you'd tag the genitals you see (penis, pussy, balls, etc), rather than the genitals tag itself.

So if I just see something with anatomically_correct and not any other tags, I should update it to replace it with the appropriate sub-tags? Basically, I'm trying to understand under what scenario an image would have just anatomically_correct?

In my opinion, nothing should have just anatomically_correct. It should also be tagged with what is anatomically correct (the anus? penis? cloaca? etc).

Anus is not considered genitals, and thus anatomically_correct_anus should not be tagged as anatomically_correct_genitalia.

Ah, okay. The confusion came when looking at the wiki page for anatomically_correct_genitalia, it actually listed anus since it's a copy of the wiki page for anatomically_correct. I'll update the wiki page to make this difference more clear.
