Deprecate mismatched thighhighs/socks since mismatched legwear exists

BUR #58310 has been rejected.

deprecate mismatched_thighhighs
deprecate mismatched_socks

Mismatched thighhighs and mismatched socks seem underused and redundant to mismatched legwear, and implications to thighhighs and socks respectively had never been set up so it leaves those tags missing from some posts (mismatched_thighhighs -thighhighs and mismatched_socks -socks). They can probably be aliased to mismatched legwear after those posts have thighhighs/socks properly added but I didn't want to make an alias my initial proposal.

BUR #58312 has been rejected.

create implication mismatched_socks -> socks
create implication mismatched_thighhighs -> thighhighs

I can't talk about mismatched socks however I have used and have seen Mismatched thighhighs use for some posts and some characters

Alternative for above

edit: removed example, confused with another tag
edit2: imply not alias 😞

I thought precedent would suggest the opposite, that mismatched legwear should be deprecated and the posts moved to the appropriate mismatched_* tags. (one example being argyle legwear).

900 posts in mismatched thighhighs are missing the mismatched legwear tag, they need to have mismatched legwear added first or it would become much harder to find them all. And if someone is typing "mismatched" we would probably want to redirect them to what the correct "mismatched_*" tag to use is.

mismatched legwear implies asymmetrical legwear which is also an umbrella that contains uneven legwear, so I don't think anyone wants to create asymmetrical thighhighs/uneven thighhighs/asymmetrical socks/uneven socks tags.

BUR #58329 has been approved by @evazion.

create implication mismatched_thighhighs -> mismatched_legwear
create implication mismatched_thighhighs -> thighhighs
create implication mismatched_socks -> mismatched_legwear
create implication mismatched_socks -> socks
create implication mismatched_shoes -> mismatched_footwear
create implication mismatched_shoes -> shoes
create implication mismatched_boots -> mismatched_footwear

Alternate (that I'm against) but I want to gauge if the downvoters would prefer this instead, if we're keeping these tags for some reason?
The only other two options besides this I see would be:

  • 1. Do what Missingno2024 said
    • Seems like a ton more work, 19k posts in mismatched_legwear would need to be split into mismatched_thighhighs/socks, and would we have those imply asymmetrical_legwear or do we split that tag and uneven_legwear too?
  • 2. Do nothing at all

("imply mismatched_boots -> boots" missing because it needs 66 posts)

BUR #58874 is pending approval.

deprecate mismatched_legwear

mismatched legwear is supposedly for the same type of legwear but different patterns, so yes, technically mismatched socks and mismatched thighhighs are subtags.

In practice, it's just another flytrap for users unaware that we have uneven legwear. The only reason to keep it would be if we want to be able to search for people of mismatched legwear of the same length but of any type. But if we want that, we really need to figure out a better name for these tags or they're gonna keep being an endless source of confusion.

mismatched footwear is more complex because boots and shoes can have the same length, I would probably just merge it into asymmetrical footwear and leave uneven footwear for the rare cases of different lengths.

Deprecating mismatched legwear is difficult because in some cases the legwear is both uneven in length and mismatched in design.

You can't say these are mismatched socks or mismatched thighhighs because they're not both socks or both thighhighs, they're one sock and one thighhigh.

The problem is those posts are asymmetrical legwear - just asymmetrical AND mismatched legwear. But it seems to me that the distinction is pointless unless we want to be able to search for matched but asymmetrical legwear - a thighhigh and a sock with the same color/pattern.
