A few different ways of referring to the same hair length.

The first two would fit what we have for short_hair and long_hair (no long-hair alias, though) because they’re common typos for common tags, but nobody uses the other five. We don’t create aliases for everything that someone might use sometime because that would bog down the site for just marginal benefit.

I can see one of each being useful, as both terms are common in normal use, whereas "medium hair" isn't, and thus the aliases would help people who aren't familiar with danbooru tagging conventions to find the tag they want. I see no need to have them from "mid-length" AND "mid_length" AND "midlength", though.

I think aliasing toward shoulder length hair would be more clear, as it could prevent mistagging by users who interpreted medium length as some other length

From the long hair wiki:

Shoulder length hair should not be tagged at all as it's medium length.

My opinion about this tag hasn't appreciably changed since topic #13782. It's a narrow and not especially useful tag that despite its definition often ends up being used for hair considerably longer or shorter than "shoulder-length". What's next, medium sleeves?

There's no other way to find such images and it's no more unlikely for someone to be looking for characters with such hair length as it is for them to be looking for characters with short or long hair, which is to say more likely than 99% of tags on the site. It does need a bit of gardening, yes, but it's a very long way from being one of the tags most in need of it. I've contacted one of the worst offenders about it.

...and tidied up the tag to remove images where the hair was clearly down to the upper-breast level or below from the thumbnail. Bizarrely enough a large proportion of these were yuyushiki pictures. There were very few posts where I saw the need to change it to short hair. I left a few posts which are really "medium hair with long locks" as I wasn't sure what best to do with them.

No doubt there are misuses that I didn't spot but, having removed about 5% of all the tag's current uses, it now looks to me like a relatively clean tag.
