Tag discussion: Yae Miko's outfit mistagged as a kimono

Prior to tag gardening, there were a significant number of Yae Miko posts in which her white outfit was mistagged as a kimono, despite the fact that her outfit does not even resemble a kimono to begin with (her outfit lacks the y-shaped opening that is typically seen on the front of kimonos). I'm not sure where the mistagging is stemming from, either because taggers assume her outfit is a kimono just because it is Japanese-themed, or if it's because of taggers arbitrarily taking tags from the Related Tags function (in which Yae is commonly associated with Raiden, who actually wears a kimono)?

Thought I might discuss this with other users for their opinion if they agree that Yae's outfit is not a kimono, meaning that her outfit was mistagged by users.

I don't think it looks like a kimono. To me it's a fancy shrine maiden uniform but not a kimono.

Honestly, I've been tagging it as a white dress, turtleneck dress and sleeveless_dress on my uploads containing her, because it's what it looks to me, her wiki doesn't give any clues about what her outfit is and there's isn't much a consensus also:

yae_miko dress
yae_miko shirt
yae_miko kimono

I thought she was wearing a miko, since it's in her name.

Yeah, I used that tag on the past and somehow managed to forgot it exists, thankfully I have just a few uploads having her.

Miko means priestess, it's not the name of an outfit. Miko wear hakama and an upper garment that I don't even think we have a tag for.

I always tag those as white kimono since they always look like one, this is a different case though.

Well, I guess it still works, since the wiki says "This tag is for pictures where at least one character is wearing the traditional outfit of a miko, a hakama skirt (almost always entirely red) and white kosode.".

Though, a standard "kosode" still nevertheless has the y-shaped opening just like kimonos, which (again) is not present on Yae's white top, yet mistaggers keep blindly tagging it as a "kimono".

No, Yae's outfit is still pretty far off from traditional miko garb. She should be tagged under nontraditional miko if anything, though currently only 24 of nearly 2000 posts of her are tagged with it
