The “text” tag is hidden under the “text only” spoiler image, but the tag is being applied to any image with any text whatsoever, such as >>375098. It seems like it’d make more sense to only hide the “text only”  
tag.

We briefly what to use for pics that get mistagged with this, I called attention to the “words” tag and someone else (sorry paluzna, I forgot your name so I can not credit you here) pointed out the “one word” tag, for images that only have a couple of words (either as dialouge bubbles or incorporated as part of the art).
 
What is up with the “dialouge” tag, though? it seems fairly popular but its use is somewhat unclear. I’m guessing it might be the closest we have to “lots of text but not on the level of the ‘text’ tag”, but at the time it may just mean conversation bubbles (excluding “comic”s I expect, but it’s even on some of those..)

As far as I’m concerned, the text tag is basically the same as text only, but with an obligatory picture thrown in. Which would be a much clearer description since the meaning of a comic can be mostly in the text, but it’s not text.
 
It’s also pretty much the reason it’s hidden by default, otherwise we’d get people posting a wall of nobody-cares-text, seeing it gets hidden, then paste an obligatory pony picture on it and boom! filter circuvention!
 
And yes I do hate the people that add this tag to stuff like comics (half of those are people not knowing which tags to proplerly hide though, or knowing it but being dicks). Any votes for changing the description?
