But are still flashbacks. That's the important part. The consensus was reached to determine a tag that would more accurately reflect a character's appearance in a flashback, not to change the definition of the word "flashback." The tag exists to signify to readers that a character (who they might not recognize) et al's appearance is insignificant, and to not inflate the number of appearances. There's no reason to use it if the character makes a more substantial appearance.
