This is the personality rights tag:

This is the category of restrictions templates:

Possibly I was thinking of the note about model rights in the reuse page:

 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:REUSE

So if there isn't a tag warning in general about model rights
(assuming reusers aren't reading all of Commons, they're just looking
at an image page, seeing the licence and going "ooh I can use that" as
Virgin did with the CC-by-sa pic they reused) - is a tag warning that,
duh, you have to take care with pictures of people worthwhile?
