I prefer it reversed. Feral temptation sounds a little ambiguous to me.

not all feral/non feral stuff is bestiality, they could be tempting you to kiss them. Meanwhile bestiality implies there is a feral in the situation always, so should be either aliased or implicated.

Whether or not kissing = bestiality for tagging is controversial: https://e621.net/forum_topics/46093?page=1#forum_post_423387
they are not the same, it's only bestiality if it is a human/humanoid/anthro x feral. a tag like feral_temptation doesn't imply that in the tag itself. taken literally, it could mean a feral is tempting another character of any form, including another feral, which would make it not bestiality.
not to mention how awkward and clunky the phrase "feral temptation" is :P that tag should be gotten rid of for that alone

can you show any examples of feral_temptation where the feral character is not tempting another character (or the viewer) into commiting bestiality?
Another issue is with mistags. feral_temptation seems to be getting tagged when bestiality is already occurring:

It's not a temptation if you've already given in. It's also used for general "sexy feral" images:

Or bestiality_humiliation:

If these count as feral_temptation or bestiality_temptation, then it's little different from a random set of feral posts.

I'll admit the tagging can be messy.
I created feral_temptation based on the pedophilia_temptation and pedophilia_humiliation tags, which were created by someone else earlier that same day. I'll admit bestiality_humiliation (and perhaps a separate bestiality_temptation tag?) might've been a better name for what I was going for. My reasoning for going with feral_temptation was... in short, based on a lot of nonsensical reasoning. Bestiality_humiliation, bestiality_temptation, incestuous_temptation_(lore), and pokephilia_humiliation were later created by other users.
My original intent for the tag was "bestiality as a taboo". Essentially, a tag for posts with text/dialogue that draws attention to "this would be/is bestiality" or at least "this (=bestiality) is kinda messed up/maybe I shouldn't...". Stuff like these:

The tag got more popular as time went on, and some users would just tag it on random ferals presenting and such

To be fair, with the wiki I wrote, I can see how someone could see "feral character presenting" as a valid usage, but it wasn't really my intent though.

I do kinda feel this is rather subjective, as is a common issue when trying to infer things from dialog. Where is the line between "I shouldn't do this (bestiality)..." and "I shouldn't do this (sex)...", or "You want this (animal ass)?" and "you want this (my ass)?"

Another angle to consider this from is that while the taboo of human/feral relations is a kink for some people, one could play up human/anthro relations for similar human-and-animal taboo (and for some people neither count if the feral can talk or is sapient, or if the other character is an anthro). So restricting it to just ferals seems unnecessarily limiting, and not everyone draws the same line for a bestiality kink/taboo like this that e6 does. It feels like it's brushing awfully close to a general "feral kink" or "feral fetish" tag.
