The current "Something else" textbox (as shown below) does not contain a placeholder which makes it unclear as to what the textbox is for if the user did not notice it appear when they selected "Something else".

[mediawiki/extensions/ReportIncident@master] Define placeholder text for the 'Something else' textbox
@JSengupta-WMF @Madalina do you have any thoughts on my suggested placeholder text wording:
Specify the behaviors that do not fit into the list of behaviors above

Should we also consider a text input (instead of a text area) component for this, to help indicate that the user should limit the amount of text they add?
Or, should we just make "Something else" a plain checkbox with no additional free text, with the idea that the user would describe the behavior in the "Additional details" text area?

In T338817: [M] Limit the number of characters a user can add when reporting, @JSengupta-WMF said to:
Got it. Yes let's keep the character limit same for that field too. Unless @Madalina thinks otherwise.
If the character limit is being kept the same for that field, then it may make sense to keep it as a textbox. I have no particular feeling either way, and wouldn't oppose removing the textbox if desired.
Let's keep the textbox. With only 200 word limit, it could be tight to describe what kind of behavior it is and the detail. @Dreamy_Jazz the placeholder text looks good to me. Thanks!
Specify the behaviors that do not fit into the list of behaviors above
IMO "do not fit into" is somewhat idiomatic to English.
How about: "Specify behavior not listed above." ?
Not necessarily to nit-pick the wording, but I would suggest:
Specify the behaviors not listed above.
Just because there may be more than one that the user wants to specify.
