1) barely_dressed and barely_clothed are aliased to different tags despite the terms being effectively synonymous.

barely_dressed is aliased to mostly_nude
barely_clothed is aliased to skimpy

Which tag should they both be aliased to?
I am leaning toward mostly_nude, but I would like your opinions.

2) mostly_dressed is an alias while mostly_clothed is not despite the terms being effectively synonymous.

mostly_dressed is aliased to partially_clothed
mostly_clothed is not an alias, is not documented on the wiki (mostly_clothed), and has over 1.2k results in a search

Should mostly_clothed be aliased to partially_clothed, or should mostly_dressed be aliased to mostly_clothed and a definition added?
I am leaning toward aliasing it away. The tag is ill-defined and has a lot of overlap with partially_clothed, and cases where a character is almost fully clothed can be covered by the base clothed tag while omitting state of undress tags. However, I would like others' opinions on this and if there's a legitimate, maintainable, unambiguous use case.

I would lean towards mostly_nude simply because people are still debating whether partially_clothed should be renamed or even removed entirely.
