Revision as of 07:01, 10 June 2011
Here is my wishlist for Wikipedia accessibility:
I use User:Graham87 vector as a test account for the Vector skin on Wikipedia; otherwise I use the Monobook skin. The Vector-related problems with the highest priority that are already noted at the page about accessibility on MediaWiki.org are probably:
- bug 23428: Headers of collapsible (sub)menus in sidebar not accesible via keyboard
- Bug 24298 – Vector skin's dropdown action list troubles users without mice - has the supposed fix gone live to Wikipedia yet?
Other
- Fix bug 11555, so that heading tags don't contain the word "edit"; this causes a screen reader user who is navigating by headings to constantly hear the word "edit" as part of the heading title.
- Make alt text handling more sane so that screen reader users don't have to hear the file name of images all the time. See bug 24586.
- At the moment, when a user writes a list in MediaWiki and separates each item by more than one line break, they will unknowingly generate multiple HTML lists. For example, a screen reader would read such a list like this: "list of 1 item, A, list end; list of 1 item, b, list end; list of 1 item, C, list end" instead of "list of 3 items, a, b, c, list end". See the relevant text about accessibility of lists in Wikipedia.
- As far as I know, the licensing tutorial for the Commons upload wizard is presently a comic, which is completely inaccessible to screen reader users. It would
be nice if there was a version of the tutorial in a format more accessible to the blind. Perhaps an audio/video presentation?
