(cameo)s of Danbooru's past

Back in 2009, topic #6514 was made to address the issue of tagging characters that are hardly in focus or important for a given post, diluting search results for said character. evazion would go on to propose the *_(cameo) format, analogous to the equivalent format for cosplay tags (with cameo being paired with it inconsistently). Since then however, especially as folks tried to grapple to what extent the format should parallel cosplay in tagging practices, by 2010, in topic #3561 Hillside Moose would proclaim how we had stopped using those tags, in 2011, back in the original topic a necrobump would turn against the format (and prompt the further proliferation of cameo), and by 2012 elsewhere, a general belief that it was decided that these sorts of tags would be "nuked" (read: updated to be their chartags instead), as in forum #80331 and forum #80668. In 2020, topic #15982 would bring forth a brief revival of the format, but the creation of character watermark there would render that need moot.

So, we need to ask - do we really need *_(cameo) when we've collectively decided to just use their chartags?

Do we even need a thread? It was decided over a decade ago to stop.

If nothing else, if we reach a definitive decision here, we can cite it as something we've agreed to actually stop doing, rather than rely on posts from over a decade ago that folks apparently missed.

I don't think they are useful, the argument for them are dumb.

Well those tags were phased out years ago, and they never really got any traction, and we've also been tagging characters no matter the relevance in the picture for so long that it's not really realistic to change direction now. Most of the remaining cameo tags only have one post, so I think they can all be safely nuked.

The offending tags have been dealt with.

I also de-linked some wiki links and deleted the two cameo wikis (one of which was a page containing only "ohaiyou" made 6 years ago).
