The pale_skin wiki mentions that the tag applies to "characters with completely white skin," so there's no need for white_skin to be a separate tag.

Actually, "pale" and "completely white" seem like distinct concepts to me. Pale is "lighter than is usual", white means #FFFFFF or close.
That's true, but that difference isn't really reflected in the posts with these tags. A lot of pale_skin posts should have been tagged with white_skin if that was the case.
White skin would obviously implicate pale skin in this case, so I don't see a big problem. But a lot of the tagged posts are altogether wrong, say post #483414 or post #483378, where it's not so much the case that the skin is white or particularly pale, but rather the posts are only partially coloured. So it's kinda hard to estimate how many posts would fall under pale_skin -white_skin.
