Coat & Fur Markings

As you might now many coat/fur markings are called after existing objects.  
So it’s not far-fetched to wonder about how those tags will be handled for consistency sake.
 
For instance look at horse markings (source: wikipedia).
 
A few selected examples would be:  
• star: “star (coat marking)” or “star (marking)” or “star (facial marking)”  
• stocking: “stocking (coat marking)” or “stocking (marking)” or “stocking (leg marking)”  
• stripe: “stripe (coat marking)” or “stripe (marking)” or “stripe (leg marking)”
 
So the main difference boils down to  
“[Marking_Name] ([Coat]||[Fur|] marking)”  
vs  
“[Marking_Name] (marking)”  
vs  
“[Marking_Name] ([Body_Part] marking)”
 
I personally would favour the last option because:  
• Fur and coat technically are different things and it would eliminate coat/fur duplicates.  
• Adding the body part would make it more clear to people who don’t know what it is supposed to mean. While “stocking” might be self-evident, “star” isn’t.  
• It also would specify body parts such as “stripe (facial marking)” and “stripe (chest marking)” and “stripe (tail marking)” etc.
 
• Ad “stripe” 1: Non-local stuff like zebra striping in contrast would be “striped (coat pattern)”.  
• Ad “stripe” 2: More common tags such as “striped tail” could be aliased to “stripe (tail marking)” (or the other way around).

Personally I would use “stripe markings” (or “striped markings”), “star markings” without any brackets and without specifying body parts.

We don’t really need anything more complex than that.
