Forum:Purpose of Image Tags and Characters in image templates ?

Apart from a couple of users who have used and, what is the real purpose of these tags? Hardly any uploaders these days use them, one or two users back in the day did use them but nobody really uses them. I'm voting for the removal of these templates that almost nobody actually adds. --Speysider Talk Page 16:28, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

You click them and they carry you to a list of images with these persons tagged in them.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 16:36, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * And that's useful how ? You can just manually add the categories and I doubt anyone goes to those categories of "Images containing the character X" --Speysider Talk Page 16:39, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, not because you believe something to have no use, means it necessarily has no use. Now, I've used that function in the past to find images of the said tagged persons to add to their articles. With some file names that do not have the person's own name in it, it's a convenient way to find older images. Kitsune added the tags to the image, and for all you know it served a purpose to that user but you removed it citing that you. It's not hurting anyone else to let them alone, so bear up your hatred of them.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 18:09, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * * cough* I uploaded that image and I do not want those templates there because they are stupid and are not even required for uploads. Got a problem with that ? --Speysider Talk Page 18:11, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
