This is respond to what transpired forum to remove hair tied tag so the reason the depreciation was approved was because " There's many different tags that should be used instead." yet all (colored) legwear become aliased to individual colored stocking/pantyhose I don't understand the double standard of denying something specific then replace it with umbrella tag vs erasing an umbrella tag and telling people to use those specific tag now
This is planned, but we have to do it all at once and it's going to be a massive undertaking, which is why nobody has created a BUR yet. Just a remove alias is not enough, mass updates and deprecations must also be prepared, for almost all *_legwear tags.
Format testing, due to the high complexity and the enormous effort needed to do the mass updates, if there's something wrong with this format it better be corrected now, so that I can incrementally add mass updates to the BUR later.
Edit: After thinking about it, I don't think -multicolored_legwear is necessary.
These will have to be deprecated to avoid being repopulated.
edit: Moved argyle socks dealias to this BUR so I could add blue_pantyhose to the previous one since OP was rejected.
This proposal seriously hasn't been thought-out well enough. Not all legwear are just socks, thighhighs, and pantyhose. There are things like knee braces, leg warmers, detached leggings, etc. Are we planning on giving all these kinds of things their own color tags as well?
Even if you bring back your <trait>_<garment> tags, the broader <trait>_legwear tags would still be needed.
These tags serve as either essential parent tags or as mid-tier organizational tags. Stirrup legwear for example is an essential parent tag for the stirrup feature that legwear can have. Deprecating it would be the same as deprecating the cleavage cutout tag to force all tags to have to be cleavage cut dress, cleavage cut shirt, cleavage cutout swimsuit, etc. fishnet legwear for example can be a useful organizational tag, as they account for over 2/3rds of the fishnets tag. If a user wants to see what other kinds of things that can feature fishnets that are not legwear, without the fishnet legwear tag they'll have to start adding additional -tags to their searches.

The main thing here is to undo the sock, pantyhose, and thighhigh color merger, because those are completely different things. I don't think anyone searching for black pantyhose actually wants to see black socks in their search. The rest can be worked out.
And I don't think we need umbrella tags for legwear colors. Just like we don't have umbrella tags for elbow gloves and detached sleeves and bridal gauntlets. Just because they're all worn on the same body part doesn't mean we need an umbrella tag for them. Tags like black legwear are too broad, they lump everything from ankle socks to pantyhose together under the same search.
There's a false economy in tagging here. It's like lumping white panties and white bra together into white underwear because it saves two whole tags, then cramming other things in there too, like bloomers and sports bras and garter belts. Then we pat ourselves on the back for how many tags we saved, meanwhile nobody actually wants white bloomers to be lumped into their white panties search, or to have some uselessly broad white underwear umbrella tag.
