Disambiguating asymmetrical_legwear

BUR #5484 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias asymmetrical_legwear -> uneven_legwear
create alias asymmetrical_sleeves -> uneven_sleeves
create alias asymmetrical_gloves -> uneven_gloves
create alias asymmetrical_footwear -> uneven_footwear

asymmetrical_legwear sounds like a tag for legwear that lacks symmetry, but this is only partially correct. It's actually for a specific kind of asymmetry where the legwear is of different lengths, while we have mismatched_legwear for when the legwear designs are asymmetrical. I often see these tags misused because of their names, so I propose the following:

• Alias asymmetrical_legwear to uneven_legwear to make it obvious that it's for differences in length
• Repurpose asymmetrical_legwear as a parent tag for all kinds of asymmetry by unaliasing it, then implying both mismatched_legwear and uneven_legwear to it

If this is done then it should also be done for all the other cases like asymmetrical gloves/mismatched gloves, asymmetrical sleeves/mismatched sleeves etc.

I've updated the BUR with asymmetrical gloves/mismatched gloves and asymmetrical sleeves/mismatched sleeves. All the other asymmetrical_* tags are already used for any kind of asymmetry; these are the only ones I could find that are only for differences in length.

There's also asymmetrical_footwear vs mismatched footwear, and asymmetrical wings vs mismatched wings, though the latter seems to be a mess to figure out.

After gardening it, I've updated the BUR with asymmetrical_footwear.

As for asymmetrical_wings/mismatched_wings, mismatched_wings has less than 90 posts while asymmetrical_wings has over 8000. I highly doubt anyone cares enough to argue in favor of having this distinction for wings, let alone garden over 8000 posts. I don't know if an alias is necessary, but mismatched_wings should definitely be merged into asymmetrical_wings.

The bulk update request #5484 (forum #185760) has been approved by @evazion.

Uneven legwear will need a lot of cleanup because most of it is wrongly used for mismatched legwear or for single thighhigh.

BUR #6167 has been approved by @evazion.

remove alias asymmetrical_legwear -> uneven_legwear
remove alias asymmetrical_sleeves -> uneven_sleeves
remove alias asymmetrical_gloves -> uneven_gloves
remove alias asymmetrical_footwear -> uneven_footwear
create implication uneven_legwear -> asymmetrical_legwear
create implication mismatched_legwear -> asymmetrical_legwear
create implication uneven_sleeves -> asymmetrical_sleeves
create implication mismatched_sleeves -> asymmetrical_sleeves
create implication uneven_gloves -> asymmetrical_gloves
create implication mismatched_gloves -> asymmetrical_gloves
create implication uneven_footwear -> asymmetrical_footwear
create implication mismatched_footwear -> asymmetrical_footwear

Part 2, repurposing the asymmetrical_x tags as parent tags for any kind of asymmetry.

The bulk update request #6167 (forum #190644) has been approved by @evazion.

I think we're going to get people tagging just asymmetrical legwear when they should be using either uneven legwear or mismatched legwear. These tags will require maintenance.

Since the can appears to have been kicked on this, will wings ever be sorted out? There's a lot of posts but the vast majority is just houjuu_nue.
I don't know if the distinction is valuable but it would be nice to have the asymmetrical term used consistently across tags.

BUR #23545 has been rejected.

create alias mismatched_wings -> asymmetrical_wings

Well let's have people vote on it.

BUR #23546 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create implication mismatched_wings -> asymmetrical_wings

counter BUR, if we want to keep the distinction like other asymmetry tags. Someone will have to populate uneven wings.

This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

On the topic of wing asymmetry:
mismatched wings is currently defined as

A single character with two or more separate styles of wings.

The rest of the "mismatched" tags are used for asymmetry within a single pair of something, but this definition sounds like it encompasses not only asymmetrical wings, but multiple different pairs of symmetrical wings (like post #6719884). It might need rewording.
I've tentatively created mixed wings for multiple symmetrical pairs, analogous to the recent mixed horns. Unless there are any objections, I'll update the wikis and populate the tag alongside uneven wings, if the implication BUR passes.
