Rename one_knee

I would actually suggest either renaming it to on one knee instead, I think most people would get that, or at least kneeling on one knee, because "kneeling on one leg" just sounds wrong.

Seconding on_one_knee. It's concise and clearer than the current tag, which sounds more like a character somehow missing their second knee.

Either way I'd also suggest adding implication to kneeling and removing the bit in its wiki page about one-knee kneeling not counting. The one-knee variant is included in most popular dictionary definitions and normal usage of the term and you can just search for kneeling -one_knee if you need to be that specific.

There are some cases where the character isn't kneeling, they're standing upright on one leg and resting their knee on a surface with the other. Common examples include resting one knee on a chair while standing, or getting out of a pool while resting one knee on the poolside. These cases would have to be moved before we could implicate kneeling.
