Is post #1042361 taggable v?
It's tagged w instead, probably because three fingers are raised, not just two.

Those seem like weird names for tags... shouldn't it at least be w-gesture or v-fingers or something?
Well, there's victory_pose.

Just shows their age, I guess. A lot of older tags were very ambiguous before being clarified, like cap and eve instead of screencap and eve_(harvest_moon). And some still are, like me instead of windows_me or lu instead of lu_(summon_night).

w covers that up nicely, so v isn't really needed in it. iirc, you could put the two if the other hand's doing it.
I see you have a point, and I even see that many (not all) images tagged w have exactly that gesture with only the thumb, index and middle fingers open.
I disagree with you, though: I don't think w covers that gesture nicely, because it is too easy to confuse it with v.
Examples of posts with "only the thumb, index and middle fingers open" but currently tagged v:

I don't think the tag name v is very bad, because — at least, to me — it is easy to understand and remember, after having quickly read the wiki.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what exactly w should represent, even with v serving as a major hint. We don't even have a wiki for w, just some tagged images.
That said, maybe an alternative name for v would be needed just to make it very clear, on sight. My suggestion: v sign. Compare with "sign language" and "signing" (as in communicating using a sign language) It is shorter than victory pose.
Alternative longer, more specific names:
v_sign sounds good to me. Although I don't think there's a need for so many different tags at the moment.

Looks like just a case of bad tagging.
I don't see any problem with v or w.
There could be some merit in implicating w -> v, though I wouldn't personally do that.
There's also the similar \n/ and \m/.
Edit: On the topic though, looks like victory pose should be aliased to v as well.
Well, System pretty much said what I wanted to say
Since it looks like we're keeping v, then naturally victory pose should be aliased to it, like SystemXS said.
In the meantime, I created middle w and filled it with some posts I found.
Another interesting, somewhat similar tag is ok sign.

Update + Bumping:
I removed w from these posts and made sure they are tagged v instead:
Then I edited the wiki of v to form the introduction "Making a 'V' shape with the index and middle finger. The thumb may or may not be raised, too."
