OK, I've flagged [dial] for future inclusion, at which time this entry can be updated.

A "dialectal" tag would be useful.

Found what I was referring to: our 「おまん」 entry. I agree that this would be overloading the colloquial tag and that an alternative would be desirable.

I can't place the previous case you mentioned, but it might be better to have a general "dialect" tag than to stretch the [col] tag in these cases.  Perhaps this will do as a placeholder until we can sort out an approach?

Dialectical, but seems it's used in different regions with other possible meanings. The context I saw it used in was at sentence-end by Kansai-ben speakers. In a previous entry where we couldn't nail the region down, we simply tagged it colloquial.
