How do I tag this?

Thanks a bunch. Unfortunately, I've got another one.

post #2568268. I have no idea what to call what the Mokou on the left is wearing. It can't be a coat. It's like a cloak, except it clearly has sleeves.

Should be a type of cardigan. Isn't really a cloak since cloaks are draped over the shoulders; that clearly has sleeves.

Quite fashionable though.

Hmm, one shouldn't use this topic for discussions like that, but this appears to me as a quick question:
The wiki page of cardigan states that it is some kind of sweater. So should it imply sweater?
[I have no idea how these words are used in daily English language]

I'd say so. There are tons of kinds of sweaters, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were entries that match sweater -cardigan that actually had a cardigan in them.

On that note however, there are tons of entries that are tagged sweater but lack the tag pullover since oftentimes that's not the tag that comes to mind. As of right now, pullover has only about 140 entries where if it were gardened I'd guess it'd have somewhere upwards of 5k entries. It's a rather quaint term though -- sweater vest, sweater dress... those often come way more to mind, so I'm not quite sure about its' prevalence.

The concern, I suppose, is if we should define sweater as the informal term for a pullover or if sweater should encompass all types of sweaters in tag group:attire. The way its listed on the wiki page right now suggests that it's a wholly encompassing term.

EDIT: I suppose we should make another new topic to discuss this too @Provence. Seems up for dispute.
