How do I tag this?

post #2835541: the "skin" divided into parts / having visible seams due to being made of separate parts. Considered artificial_skin and cracked_skin but neither has a wiki page and I'm not sure their usage matches. If we don't have a tag for it, I think we should. It's a common element for androids. yorha_type_a_no._2 has this too, for example, but I didn't see any relevant tag on pictures of her.

It's not unprecedented to tag these seams as robot joints even though it doesn't conform to the wiki definition: post #932177, post #956116, post #2586104.

We also have an undefined seams tag which has been used for similar purposes (post #642258, post #2256014), but it's such a vague term that I doubt its viability as a tag.

Huh, looks like most of the recent usage of robot joints is this. Tagged my post with that for now, but it's even more of a stretch from the definition than the nier style. Seems like it would be worth having separate tags, so that joints with actual exposed machinery (the likes of post #2759495) could be found. I'm just not sure what to call the subtle version...

Looking through this tag robot_joints, it looks to me that stuff like post #2759495 is more the exception and I even wonder if I even tagged it correctly because of the prosthesis tag. So I even tend to remove the robot joints tag from this post.
And most stuff that is tagged with robot joints looks differently. I think the wiki is outdated and should focus on the external appearance, like in the examples given by @iridescent_slime .
