BUR #10199 has been approved by @evazion.
mass update textless parent:none child:none -pool:series -comic -> -textless
create alias textless -> textless_version
remove alias textless -> textless_version
Perhaps this will make people understand that the tag is for textless variants, not for any picture without text.
This leaves out doujin samples like post #2459186 (explicit), which I believe should fall under textless. I can do the first part manually after the rename.
I added -comic to the query. There's still cover images but I'm not sure whether those should be tagged textless without the actual cover being present.
That leaves three posts where I added blank speech bubble, and post #3255542 which is the first page of a doujin sample where the rest wasn't uploaded.
It also leaves quite a few textless versions of novel illustrations and covers which would have text on them in the novel etc.

There's a lot of novel art without text in novel_illustration -textless. Should those all get the text? I'm not sure how we can tell that they're textless (or how useful it is to tag them that way) if we don't have the text version on danbooru.
Gnerally speaking any novel illustration that is greyscale will not have any text unless it is in a speech bubble or is a character profile, while any coloured illustration will have text, usually either lines from the scene being depicted or just the name of the character.
There are exceptions, such as post #1570122, but these are relatively unusual. I just checked 40 of the light novel series I own and only 2 of them (OreTwi and Inou Battle) do this, and the latter only did it a couple of times.
As for how to tell for sure... well, most light novels do have free samples available on the website or on nico seiga, but I accept that this is quite a bit of effort.
As to how useful it is... well, I guess it would tell people "if you buy the light novel then this picture will probably have text over it".

Cover image also has a bunch of posts shared with cover page when the two should be mutually exclusive based on their wikis since novel cover, manga cover, and doujin cover implicate cover page.
