edit 2: on second thoughts, I was right to bring attention to the likes of post #2640037 - either images like this should not be tagged with short twintails, no matter how long the twintails are, or this implication should not go ahead, as these images certainly do not want the short hair tag.
I would strongly prefer the latter, so still -1 to this implication.
post #2640037 shouldn't tag with short_hair_with_long_locks (required unbound short hair). I didn't remove the tag 'cause if she lets her hair down, the difference between the lock of hair and the the rest of her hair is distinct enough (imo).
edit: didn't see you posted 2 examples. Anyhow, post #2987260 isn't either.
Then I fear nothing counts as short twintails if this post doesn't fall under it. The two bunches of hair are relatively short to the overall hair length there. There is a huge intersection between low and short twintails.
That wiki entry is just wrong, that describes two side up
I would like to agree with you, but the wiki must be changed first before you want to do anything else with the tag.
********* short twintails wiki is from 2009 while two side up's is 2011. In my understanding, short twintails is covering two side up with short locks because at the time there's no tag to describe this kind of hair style. In its first wiki, two side up is "a variant of twintails" (I didn't look at its wiki again till now) and the wiki of twintails only mention they're seperated in the changing on 2017.

The concept is very clearly recognized in anime, with popular characters such as Yoshikawa Chinatsu, Tanaka Mamimi, Kaname Madoka among others having the style. It doesn't have the problem of long twintails where the tagger is just looking to saturate a post with more tags that aren't useful, short twintails is actually very useful.
Can you cite some examples where it's actually the case such twintails are too long to be part of a head of short hair? It's not intuitive to me that there would be, plus after searching through short_twintails low_twintails I feel confirmed in that. Plus low twintails are in general shorter that most twintails just because they start lower, it really doesn't make a difference in how "short" twintails are whether they star at the top of the head or below the ears, they are still judged by their minima.
Also consider short_twintails -short_hair. Do you find posts here which would not be considered having short hair besides ones which were errantly tagged as either short_twintails to begin with? Often the tagger has either tagged below-shoulder-length hair as "short" twintails or should have used two_side_up.
Well, this is already the case. I attempted maybe a year ago to create the opposite policy where two_side_up would be a subset of short_twintails but consensus looks to be that they are mutually exclusive.
It really isn't clear what you mean here. That two_side_up is a type of twintails or that they are mutally exclusive?
mutally exclusive. I didn't know they already are.

Ifshort twintails is twintails with short hair (after get rid of two side up part), I didn't see how they're different with long twin tails = 2-tags-combine case. I understand the tag might usefull because of the large result but isn't it the same with long twintails and many other tags, which is nuked?
The special treament's only because of some long hair posts like two side up (invalid now because of the seperated of twintails/two side up) and, maybe, posts like
