Currently, one-page oneshots (such as those from Twitter) are given the same "oneshot" tag as full length, published oneshots. These two styles of manga are completely different, and really ought to be categorized separately. It can be frustrating to be looking for a oneshot to read, as these one-pagers often outnumber more complete stories.
It would probably also be a good idea for this tag to describe other especially short oneshots, as they often share similar structures. In this case, calling the tag something like "short" might be preferable to a more specific tag like "one page." (I also think "vignette" would work, but that runs the risk of being confusing to people that don't know the meaning of the word.) This would also make the name of the tag easier to distinguish at a glance from "oneshot."
This tag would probably also not be correlated with the "oneshot tag." Something that is a "short" isn't necessarily also a "oneshot," so something like Holiday Yasumi's twitter shorts would have the "short" tag but not the "oneshot" tag, for example. (Though, of course, something like the recently added Arimono de Nantoka Suru TS Musume would have both.)
