Hey! I noticed that in your edits you mention being confused by joke tags. These tags show when a page is incomplete, so editors know where to go to contribute the most. The reason the joke is there is a running joke- when a page is created by a bot (every time basically) it adds "incomplete- created by a bot" so we edit to to "incomplete- created by [something funny related to the comic]". You're doing good though, people are often too afraid to remove an incomplete tag even when the explanation is pretty good. --Mushrooms (talk) 08:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

I would also like to add that the Transcript is for things not otherwise in (non-graphical) text form, i.e. to describe only what is drawn/scrawled in the image itself. The Title Text is already given under the comic (in the header section above the Explanation) and so has no reason to be 'transcripted'.

I appreciate your consideration, but discussions about this (by people often far more authoritative than me, without even a username!) can be found in the Community Portal and maybe elsewhere, and a site standard has been developed and long accepted. You'll see that very few articles (if any, as there actually ought to be none) have the Title Text repeated in the Transcript, and this is the current consensus/practice/habit.
