cropped_torso... mutually exclusive with upper_body?

The last clause in the cropped torso wiki--

Cropped torso:
Don't use if their lower body is merely out of frame (see upper body). There must be an empty gap between the cropped section and the edge of the image.

--suggests it's mutually exclusive with upper body, and perhaps because it's older, upper body makes no clarifications. One user (@momone) has been mass-adding this tag to upper body posts, so it'd be nice to have a concrete guideline between the two. The opinions of Builders on Discord are pretty evenly split, and I've always used one or the other because cropped_* tags feel like their own, distinct group to describe composition. Thoughts?

I always assumed they were mutually exclusive and don't use them together.

I don't see it as mutually exclusive, that clause is in place only so that dumb tag literalists don't tag every single upper body post with cropped cropped torso "cus the rest of the body is cropped out of the frame"

The two should not be mutually exclusive. Saying that this is upper_body and that this isn't, just because the torso wasn't cropped in the correct way, is absurd. If I were searching for upper_body posts and every cropped_torso was being excluded from my results because of some technicality in the the wiki, despite being the exact thing I was looking for, I would not be a happy user.

The purpose of this clause is to tell users "don't tag things like post #7163460 as cropped_torso. just tag them with upper_body". It's worded a little poorly, but it's not saying the two are mutually exclusive.

I also have always assumed they are mutually exclusive as they feel like entirely separate compositions. I similarly don't use "cowboy_shot + cropped_legs" "cowboy_shot + feet_out_of_frame" or "feet_out_of_frame + cropped_legs"

I can see that all of those tag combos have pages worth of images though so maybe it's time to actually discuss composition tags. I have always assumed one primary tag per image which informs of the basic composition and is exclusive with all of those other tags.

Yeah how does this reflect on other cropped_x tags? Are we supposed to use cowboy shot with cropped legs or portrait with cropped head?
