We know for fact that dinosaurs had cloacas, and we know what extant related species genitalia look like (archosaurs.) It's an educated guess based on the little knowledge we have on dinosaur genitalia. I would understand the complaint if I had given them canine, human, horse genitalia, balls or an anus as many artists seem to do. But I haven't, this is as anatomically correct as one can reasonably get without a time machine since soft tissue rarely fossilizes.

This picture causes my soft tissue to fossilize

if you can demonstrate scientific consensus that this is what dino genitalia looked like, or at least widespread acceptance of the theory, the tags can stay. until then, stick to the definitions. wiki: anatomically_correct_genetalia "It can't be anatomically_correct if you cannot define which genitalia is even supposed to be correct in the first place."

We know they had cloacas indefinitely and in most if not all cases had some sort of phallus. there are loads of documents discussing this. But the conscensus being it is a trait that appears in the most basal members of the tree as well as more advanced forms- suggesting it is an ancestral characteristic.
And we can make an educated guess based on what we have on extant archosaurs. like ducks, ratites, crocs and kin (animals at the baser part of the ancestral tree that we still have access to)
The cloaca part is irrefutable; however, the design of the phallus will always be up for debate unless we find a cock for every species imagined, but the above image is one of the best interpretations based on the information we have.

I agree the cloaca is irrefutable, but even the very sources you provide state that the phallus shape is as much speculation as a dragon or alien dick. If mods want to rule a different way, I’ll accept that, but until then dinosaur phalluses are pure speculation and the anatomically_correct tag cannot apply.

They found the indentation of a female cloaca a while ago. Scientists say that shape is optimized for a phallus. I think most people see the "anatomical correct" tag more as "not a human, dog or horse dick" tag.

Everybody's talking about the dicks, I'm sitting here marveling at the dewlaps.

You can’t accuse them of not being hung

Prehensile weiners are underutilized.
The “embracing” of them is adorable in a strange sense. I would like to see more of that in furry art.
