I'm not sure that
 
Part No: 92253c00pb01  Name: Mini Doll Hips and Trousers with Back Pockets with Tan Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
* 
92253c00pb01 Mini Doll Hips and Trousers with Back Pockets with Tan Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
Parts: Mini Doll, Legs
and [P=92253c00pb05] differ enough to
warrant being different parts.

All minifig images using those parts look tan to me, only the comparison photo
on the first part shows a slight difference in color, but note that one is a
dual mold with (non-printed) tan shoes, the other is a single mold with tan printed
shoes. The dark blue part underneath probably makes the tan color seem darker
just like it happens for other colors on other parts (e.g. pies).

So my advice is to merge the parts because all other single/dual-mold mini doll
leg variants that I know of are handled by a single part with a note on it that
variants exist. Example:
 
Part No: 92251c00pb02  Name: Mini Doll Hips and Trousers Cropped with Magenta Butterflies, Light Nougat Legs, and Medium Lavender Sandals with Straps Pattern - Thick Hinge
* 
92251c00pb02 Mini Doll Hips and Trousers Cropped with Magenta Butterflies, Light Nougat Legs, and Medium Lavender Sandals with Straps Pattern - Thick Hinge
Parts: Mini Doll, Legs

Another solution for consistency is to split all known single/dual mold mini
doll leg variants.

I agree. Leaving this one part with two different entries while the rest have
a single entry is inconsistent.

  Another solution for consistency is to split all known single/dual mold mini
doll leg variants.

That's unlikely to happen, of course. I encourage the catalog experts to
merge the two parts as requested and then close this open catalog request.

More likely to happen than unlikely, so I really wish you wouldn't speak
for us. We have made significant progress in the last year in identifying dual-
and triple-molded parts and cataloging them properly, something that was not
done before (ahem). Minifigure legs and mini doll legs are two of the last major
areas of focus. This request is our reminder that we still have work to do, so
it will remain open.

Cheers,
Randy
