Another thing that always confused me about the

that you're prompted to enter a description and then the "success"

No, that doesn't make a lot of sense. You'd see stuff like this:

I modified the legend to make it more legible and remove the scanning
errors, and did a threshold to reduce the number of colors for better
compression.

The description is for the description page. It's *not* generally
suitable for inline alternate text rendering for browsers that can't
display images (which will always be context-dependent).
