deprecate multicolored_clothes

I think the biggest factor against this should be the fact that the wiki for multicolored_clothes specifically says not to use it with patterns like plaid and argyle and yet the wiki uses these patterns as example pictures.

Ignoring that though this tag is incredibly unspecific and I can't see a single reason to use this in place of a tag like multicolored shirt or even any of the two-tone tags.

Another concern is that the wiki states that Black, White, and Grey should not be included in the tag and yet a large sample size of the post contains white, black, and grey colors as part of the "multicolored" tag. I find the tag overly broad, and attempts to "limit" what the tag contains are ineffective.

I don't see any point in having this tag. It's incredibly broad; rarely does an outfit only consist of clothes that have a single color. As zetsubousensei said, nobody is going to find this more useful than any of the more specific multicolored_x tags.

I'd prefer to keep it to have a global tag to be able to search for colorful clothes of any kind.

The wiki definitely needs to be edited, especially about its obvious contradiction stating "two or more distinct colors" and "two colors [...] don't count" while using two colored clothes as examples.
If two colored clothes count (I think they should), two-tone_* should imply the multicolored ones.

Regarding the black/white colors misuse, perhaps a rename or the creation of a new distinct 'colorful_clothes / colorful_*' tag would be a better choice of word and less prone to mistag.
Especially as the multicolored_hair can mislead people tagging as it's not following that black and white rule.
