What's the difference between that and humanoid_face?

Sort of a side note, but that tag seems to be polluted with lots of actual humanoids, despite the wiki saying not to use it for that. Adding feral to the search is mostly accurate, though, but still. That tag might also need either a rename or some general cleanup regardless.

They're intended to be different things with humanoid_face being more for characters with flat snouts and human facial structure as a stylistic choice.

human_faced_feral is used specifically for ferals with human faces/heads. But if human_faced_feral isn't an appropriate tag that's fair enough (I'm pretty new to the e6 tag system). I just like that tag, and thought that if you tag human_faced_feral, it should also tag feral on the post.

Much of the ๐Ÿ˜ votes here indicate that people aren't convinced (yet) that this tag is valid.

The biggest problem I can see is tags like human_face, human_head, and humanoid_head are already aliased to humanoid_face (albeit without any discussion).
Because this tag is very similar in name to the already removed tags (with the small exception that this specifically applies to feral), it is on shaky ground to begin with.

If this tag is meant for posts like those found in human_faced_feral -humanoid feral, then it is a valid thing to tag.
However, it should follow convention to other similar tags like animal_head.

I feel that it would work better as a general tag that can be applied to all non-human/humanoid forms, i.e., feral, taur, amorphous, etc.
I can imagine people would want a similar tag for other forms that also unconventionally have a human's head on the top.
