Siamese cats are colorpoint

Posted under Tags

colorpoint suffers from a terminal case of bad name and bad wiki.

The name tells me nothing about what the tag is for. A better name could be animal point coloration, following how wikipedia talks about this.
The wiki is written for scientists rather than for our users. "A form of heat-sensitive albinism in animals" - who talks like this? I have to get to the end of the definition to find that it's for extremities of different colors in cats. It could just say "For animals with their head/paws of a different color from their main body, like siamese cats".
