BUR #39662 is pending approval.
create alias wrong_uniform -> mismatched_school_uniform
remove alias wrong_uniform -> mismatched_school_uniform
create alias wrong_school_uniform -> mismatched_school_uniform
The naming is ambiguous at least, as the wiki implies that at least one person wears the summer variant of a school uniform and another person is wearing a winter variant of the same uniform within one setting. So the tag should be renamed to something else.
I'd also prefer the tag to specify school uniform to try and prevent someone from using it for an image with other types of uniforms, such as military.
The same argument can be made for renaming summer_uniform and winter_uniform, which according to the wikis are supposed to be for school uniforms, but will probably be swamped with mistags unless they're renamed.
I don't really like either name but at least wrong uniform sounds a bit nicer. Mismatched school uniform makes me think more about some kind of component of a uniform not being standard (e.g. not a coloured serafuku or not a matching sailor collar and skirt colour with a white shirt) than it does about a school uniform not matching the weather setting. I think either the wiki or tag name could use some time at the board to be clearer.
Like WRS, when I see mismatched school uniform I would think it's a mishmash of different school uniform components. If it's going to be for school uniforms during the wrong season, perhaps could use a name like wrong season school uniform or out of season school uniform?
Wrong season school uniform and out of season school uniform don't really solve the issue though. That would be for occasions where a character is in a summer uniform with snow or a general/winter uniform and they're sweating from summer heat. But it wouldn't be an effective rename for wrong uniform where the tag is currently used for when two or more seasonal uniform types feature within the same setting. Not a bad tag idea though if there's sufficient posts to tag it with.
My best name suggestion in about a minute of thinking was multiple school uniform types but that also doesn't sound good to me.
The closest thing of a tag like this that I can think of is mixed maids, which exists due to forum #240918, but I don't know if mixed school uniforms sounds much better. Maybe the tag suggestion in the OP should just add an s to uniform, emphasizing the plurality?
Whoops, looks like I misunderstood the wiki - I was thinking of something different. I didn't quite realise it was where two or more characters in one image were wearing different seasonal uniforms, I thought it was about the wrong uniform to the season (e.g. wearing a summer uniform in winter). In that case, I don't like wrong uniform for this concept either, but I still hold what I said about mismatched school uniform.
Mixed uniforms (or with school added) sounds better to me in plain English if I'm trying to get a feel for the concept in just the tag name alone. I don't like the use of the word "mismatched" at all, regardless of whether or not uniform is changed to be plural, because that to me speaks more to the components of the worn uniform than it does about the characters wearing different seasonal uniforms.
Can just be direct then and just call it summer and winter school uniforms.
Will say mixed school uniforms as a tag name may result in it being tagged on posts that just show multiple uniforms for different schools, like post #8954527. I don't know if there's a good universal solution to this, but I will say that "school uniform" should probably be specified in the tag name and that I'm not a fan of "mismatched" as a descriptor, for the reasons WRS wrote out. (Hence my "meh".)
I'll create another BUR with multiple seasonal school uniforms as it is more specific and correct in my opinion.
BUR #39692 is pending approval.
rename wrong_uniform -> multiple_seasonal_school_uniforms
create alias winter_and_summer_school_uniforms -> multiple_seasonal_school_uniforms
Alternate BUR.
