One of the big parts of DF's popularity is how moddable it is, so these tokens don't even have to be implemented with anything in the base game, just there so people can edit it. Post all your token suggestions here and I'll compile them into one big list. Please include the category of your token before you post it so I can easily sort them to be read through.

Post them in the following format:
Token Type
[TOKEN]: What this token would do. Why this token should exist.

Token Suggestions

Spoiler: Creature Tokens (click to show/hide)

[BUTCHERABLE]: Explicitly states a caste as butcherable, overriding everything else. This would allow for greater control over what does and doesn't get butchered, including making cannibalistic entities.

Spoiler: Entity Tokens (click to show/hide)

[ADDITIONAL_SECRET:CLASS]-Allows members of the entity to pursue and study other secrets. Multiple entries allowed.
[ARMOR:x] Where x is how much armor the soldiers in that civ will wear. 1 would be what goblins wear for the most part now, 8 or something would be full set with mail shirt, greaves, boots, etc.
[CAVERN_ACTIVE:MINLAYER:MAXLAYER]-Allows a civ to travel or settle (if the appropriate BIOME tag is in place) underground. Values default to 0:0.
[COMMON_MATERIAL:CLASS]
[COMMON_PLANT:CLASS]
[CRAFTING:x] Where x is how well a civ can craft anything at all. 1 would be the basic item, 5 would be masterpiece.
[CULT_WORSHIP:TYPE:OBJECT]-What an entity, if it is a cult, will worship. Valid types include CREATURE, CREATURE_CLASS, SYNDROME_CLASS (used for vampires,) DEITY, FORCE, and SPHERE. If DEITY is chosen, the last value is a sphere. If FORCE is chosen, the last value is a biome. Multiple entries allowed.
[DOMESTICATED_CREATURE_CLASS:CREATURE_CLASS]: All creatures of said class start off as domesticated by this civ. Similar to dwarves and [COMMON_DOMESTIC]. Would allow the removal of those tags and allow the introduction of stuff like entities who only domesticate reptiles.
[ENTITY_CLASS:CLASS]
[ETHIC:CHILD_LABOR:REACTION]-Player forts from civs with ACCEPTABLE for this behavior will automatically have child-labor enabled. Should the player enable it, or disable it, in spite of his civ's ethics, his citizens may react adversely.
[INITIAL_SECRET:CLASS]-If the entity is a splinter-group with the PURSUE_SECRET cause, it can be formed to pursue secrets with this class. Multiple entries are allowed.
[NO_INTERACTION]-The entity keeps to itself, never initiating contact with another. Overrides SENDS_CARAVANS.

[RELIGION_FORCE_APPEARANCE:CREATURE:CASTE:FREQ]: Forces gods of this civilization to pick this creature / caste of creature for appearance. Allows for certain civilizations that would only worship creatures of the given type.
[RELIGION_PREVENT_APPEARANCE:CREATURE:CASTE]: Prevents any gods of this civilization from picking this creature / caste as it's appearance. Allows preventing high-population castes from appearing constantly as gods.
[SENDS_CARAVANS]

Valid causes include INSURRECTION, SECESSION, CRIME, LIFESTYLE, PURSUE_SECRET, RELIGIOUS_DIFFERENCE, RELIGIOUS_INSURRECTION, RELIGIOUS_SECESSION, and CULT. Multiple tags of this type are allowed.
[SPLINTER_HIDDEN]-If the entity is a splinter-group, dwelling within another entity, it will strive to hide its existence, acting as inconspicuous as its values allow, until circumstances force it to reveal itself.
[SPLINTER_REFUGE:PLACE:TYPE (if ABANDONED_SITE or NEW_SITE chosen)]-Where the entity goes, upon splintering. Valid values include SEWER, DWELLING, ABANDONED_SITE, NEW_SITE, WILDERNESS, and NOWHERE. Multiple entries are allowed.

Creature Tokens
[SUSTENANCE:ARG1:ARG2:ARG3:ARG4:ARG5:ARG6]

• Defines some sort of food or drink that the creature can or must consume to survive (or just to enjoy life, or to function normally).
• ARG1: Can be VITAL, IMPORTANT, ENJOYMENT, PREFERENCE.
• ARG2: Can be FOOD or DRINK.
• ARG3: Can be ANY, ALCOHOL, ALCOHOL_CREATURE, ALCOHOL_PLANT, CREATURE, PLANT, ITEM.
• ARG4: If you chose CREATURE, PLANT or ITEM before, then now you type in an ID. In case of ITEM, this can also be an item token. Otherwise NONE.
• ARG5: Previous whatever's any material. If you previously chose ITEM, then this just defines what material should it be made of. Otherwise NONE.
• ARG6: Number. This will be the amount of ticks after which the creature will carve for the sustenance item. Going over the allocated time without consuming the given thing will make the creature "unsatisfied" then "very unsatisfied". A creature's sustenance demands can be checked in the health screen. "(Very) hungry for X" means that the creature requires X food, and "(Very) thirsty for X" means the creature requires X drink.

Example usage:
[SUSTENANCE:VITAL:FOOD:ANY:NONE:NONE:50400]
The creature require food of any type to exist at all. 50400 ticks is roughly 1.5 months. In other words, the creature will require two pieces of food a season, similarly to how dwarves behave currently.

[SUSTENANCE:VITAL:DRINK:ANY:NONE:NONE:50400]
Same as above, but with drinks.

[SUSTENANCE:IMPORTANT:DRINK:ALCOHOL_PLANT:NONE:NONE:33600]
This creature will work slower if it doesn't get some alcohol beverage every month. It will however only accept alcohol made from plants.

[SUSTENANCE:ENJOYMENT:FOOD:CREATURE:ELF:FAT:16800]
This creature derives enjoyment from eating elven meat. If the creature has FOOD as VITAL, but the food can be anything, this creature will choose elven meat above any other type of food, as it satisfies the vitality requirement AND gives the creature a happy thought.

Also note how this has less time than the vital food part. This means that the creature will go out of their way, even if they're not hungry, just to eat this type of food every half a month. Creatures with low self-control will give in the temptation, and might get fat this way.

[SUSTENANCE:PREFERENCE:FOOD:PLANT:SOFT_WHEAT:MILL:67200]
This creature prefers to eat soft wheat flour if it's available above all else (assuming there is nothing that is marked as ENJOYMENT for the creature in the fort), but it does not derive any satisfaction from it.
Also note the increased time. This makes it so that the creature will ONLY prefer to eat soft wheat flour every second month.

[SUSTENANCE:ENJOYMENT:DRINK:ITEM:ANVIL:STEEL:1200]
This creature derives enjoyment from drinking a steel anvil every day.

Entity Tokens
[RECIPE:ARG1:ARG2:ARG3:ARG4]

• Defines a recipe that the members of this civilisation can cook up. See below for actually defining recipes.
• ARG1: FOOD or DRINK. Food is made in the kitchen, drink at the still.
• ARG2:ARG3:ARG4: singular name, plural name, and adjective, respectively.

[RECIPE_SKILL_REQUIRED:ARG1:ARG2]

• Adds a skill requirement to the recipe.
• ARG1: Skill token.
• ARG2: Number. Denotes the minimal level of the above skill required.

[RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:ARG1:ARG2:ARG3:ARG4:ARG5]

• Adds an ingredient to the recipe.
• ARG1: Can be VITAL or EXTRA. Denotes whether the ingredient is absolutely required, or if it can be left out.
• ARG2: Can be ANY, ALCOHOL, ALCOHOL_CREATURE, ALCOHOL_PLANT, CREATURE, PLANT, ITEM or RECIPE.
• ARG3: If you chose CREATURE, PLANT, or ITEM before, then now you type in an ID. In case of ITEM, this can also be an item token. In case of RECIPE, type in the singular name of the recipe you want to use. Otherwise NONE.
• ARG4: Previous whatever's any material. If you previously chose ITEM, then this just defines what material should it be made of. No need when using RECIPE. Otherwise NONE.
• ARG5: Number. The amount of the above ingredient required.

Example usage:

[RECIPE:FOOD:strange soup:strange soups:strange soup]
    [RECIPE_SKILL_REQUIRED:COOKING:1]
    [RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:VITAL:ALCOHOL:NONE:NONE:5]
    [RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:VITAL:ITEM:ANVIL:STEEL:1]
    [RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:EXTRA:ANY:NONE:NONE:10]
This would result in a standard-issue Sodexo soup, but dwarven style.

[RECIPE:DRINK:lumberjack tea,lumberjack teas,lumberjack tea]
    [RECIPE_SKILL_REQUIRED:COOKING:1]
    [RECIPE_SKILL_REQUIRED:BREWING:5]
    [RECIPE_SKILL_REQUIRED:WOODCUTTING:10]
    [RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:VITAL:ALCOHOL:NONE:NONE:5]
    [RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:VITAL:RECIPE:strange soup:NONE:1]
    [RECIPE_ADD_INGREDIENT:VITAL:PLANT:OAK:WOOD:50]
This would result in a tasty tea that uses the previous soup, too.

I think DOMESTICATED might work better as an entity-only token that could use the already-existing CREATURE_CLASS creature token:

[DOMESTICATED_CREATURE_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]

RELIGION_PREVENT_APPEARANCE and RELIGION_FORCE_APPEARANCE could be very nice for specific reasons I'm thinking of; even better if you could also include a sphere as an argument.

That's a MUCH cleverer and cleaner idea.

Can you explain, how to create fuel(food) for steampunk creatures?

Can you explain, how to create fuel(food) for steampunk creatures?

This is more something for the Questions thread, but I'd suggest making a food that gives an ingestion syndrome that does something to speed them up.
