"Contradiction" tag -- second passing
And, lo, the contadiction tag did battle with the mighty Trogdor, but it was a foregone conclusion. Though the humble tag did parry and thrust with all its might, the armor-like scales resisted all ...

The warning for the blacklisted tag (homework) should be updated
I derped.
This was supposed to be changed after we outright blacklisted (it originally warned folks, then ultimately blocked). The updated text is:
