I submitted this release months ago
http://www.discogs.sie.com/Cher-Take-Me-Home-Prisoner/release/2262400
The only tags I used were CD and Reissue, because they are the only ones that apply.
Now someone has added Compilation to them.
From what I took in the recent threads, is that if you're in doubt, and the ONLY correct way, is not to use any album or compilation tags.
My question is: is a 2fer (2 albums reissued on 1 cd) a compilation? -

The new guidelines that will be published shortly (if I have understook nik correct) says that a 2fer is a compilation:

Even though they are not yet current guidelines (an of course can be changed when actually published), I will say it is pretty safe to add the compilation tag to a 2fer (btw: IMHO a 2fer isn't a reissue unless the 2fer has been issued before,).

I was struggling to decide if it's even a reissue if both albums were previously issued on cd before. -

be sure to watch out, the opposite doesn't make the original a 2fer compilation.
(I mean originally released together, and afterwards released apart, especially happens sometimes with double albums) -

I mean, you have to watch out not to confuse 2 albums afterwards released together, with 1 double album afterwards released as 2 separates. (or double album/box sets released at the same time in separate form)
Speaks for itself the latter don't fall under 'compilation'. -

I'm not sure I can follow, too late in the night.
How about the 2fer of The Supremes and The Temptations duet albums, issued at least twice as a simple 2fer (on 1 cd), and later issued as a complete studio recordings (2 cd) with lots of extra material. Would this later 2cd issue be a compilation or also reissue? -

compilation (2CD comes later)
not a compilation when:
2CD came earlier
2CD came was released together with the single CD's
reissue = exact same material released a 2nd (3rd, 4th,...) time (optional bonus tracks may occur)
