I'd like to know if following conventional openings are classified as brown-sticker conventions:

2 Diamonds opening that is either weak two in Hearts OR one-suited semiforcing in Diamonds

simillary, 2 Hearts opening that is either weak two in Spades OR one-suited semiforcing in Hearts.

Thanks in advance!

In what jurisdiction?

It's not brown sticker, since you promise an anchor suit whenever it's weak.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I think 'Brown Sticker' implies WBF.

As long as 'one-suited semi forcing' is strong ('a king above average'/13HCP), then (as gwnn says) the weak option has no ambiguity and so the bid is not brown-sticker.

The WBF isn't the only jurisdiction that uses the term.

Perhaps every jurisdiction that does use the term has exactly the same regulation as the WBF. I wouldn't bet on that, either.

Not the same regulation, but I expect they use the same definition. We probably disagree.

Certainly the EBL's use of Brown Sticker is meant to follow the WBF [whether it does or not] and some European countries use Brown Stickers "because they follow the WBF/EBL approach".
