textless currently has
no text aliased into it.textless, just purely as an adjective, could truthfully be applied to an enormous number of images on the site. In theory, that could be useful, if someone wants to see literally text-free images, especially since the tag text is defined as not including dialogue/speech bubbles, or smaller amounts of text like a title or logo.
textless would be like an auto-combined-search for -text, -dialogue, -monologue, -speech bubble, -onomatopoeia, etc.However, it seems more like people use
textless to mean “another version has words, or this was edited to remove words”. It could get a tag definition limiting it to that use, if that’s decided upon.no dialogue also exists, and looks like a mix of “another version has dialogue, or this is a comic (where one might expect there to be dialogue) but there isn’t any dialogue in this page”.
(textless edit also exists, but is very little-used.)
textless version would not quite mean the exact same thing as tagging
textless, alternate version if textless is interpreted literally, because the presence of textless version would mean “another version has text” whereas textless, alternate version could be tagged where no version has text at all.But, does it matter?
A. textless version could imply textless
B. textless version and textless edit could be aliased to textless
C. textless could be aliased to textless version to make it more self-evident what it is meant to identify (at the cost of mixing up “version” and “edit” terminology)
D. no dialogue could be left alone
E. no dialogue could imply textless (at risk of being wrong eg. if written-out sound effects are present)
F. no dialogue could be assumed to only mean “another version has dialogue” and aliased into whatever tag is chosen for “another version has text” (deciding that they mean a similar-enough thing)
