This has been bugging me from the start.
On many posts one would be able to identify and tag as style_parody, it's not necessarily obvious to the next person who the "parent" artist is, since unlike series, you can't tag it.
Concrete example— post #934229 is a clumsy attempt at parodying domotolain, who I'd guess isn't the most renowned artist around here.
I used to tell the name of the parodied artists in the comments, but it gets dumb fast when multiple posts in the same gallery are concerned. And regardless, comment searches can't substitute to tag searches in the long run.
Thus I'd support the suggestion already made in forum #19848 to introduce <artist>_(style_parody) tags so that the parodied artists can be consistently acknowledged, and incidentally, searchable.
In addition I think it'd be useful to have a wiki list of these artists. Though you'd already find them by searching *_(style_parody) on the tags page, it'd give them some natural visibility for taggers.
