Please make a pink tag for "canonical questions"

Question

Also, I apparently need help deleting a tag I regret having created: historical-document.

Here's a pink tag. It stands out nicely.

Pink tags are hardcoded in the Stack Exchange code and are the [status-*] kind, and also [featured], nothing else. Also, I do not see the point of it. — fedorqui, Commented Mar 31, 2018 at 6:40
The tag historical-document you mention does not have any question, so it is technically deleted. There is no need to do anything. — fedorqui, Commented Mar 31, 2018 at 6:41
@fedorqui - I see, thanks. When I deleted the tag from the question I had applied it to, it ended up in the ether. RIP. (Rest in Peace.) — aparente001, Commented Mar 31, 2018 at 15:19
Exactly, they are automatically deleted when no questions use them — fedorqui, Commented Mar 31, 2018 at 16:09
See How can we get rid of misspelled and unused (or "zombie") tags, from Meta.SE faq. — fedorqui, Commented Mar 31, 2018 at 16:13

Pink tags are only available in Meta, so a question like Editions of Spanish Orthographies? / ¿Qué revisiones ha tenido la ortografía española?, that can be found in the main site, cannot have it.

Regarding removing a tag blabla, you can get rid of it by removing it from all questions. The system will do the rest automatically: How can we get rid of misspelled and unused (or "zombie") tags?
