Wiki test page, minor accessibility issues, can we fix them?

Hey guys

 

This is nothing we have to discuss today, we may not even ahve to discuss it.

There are some accessibility issues on the wiki test pages themselves that make them slightly confusing for assistive technology users.

(1.3.1, all of them)

 

1.      The Background links (links under the „background“ heading) are all presented not in seperate list itemss but in seprate unordered lists. The same goes pretty much for all lists on the page (see also „assumptions“ This makes it impossible to skip past them and makes for a lot of added screen reader verbosity. I would call it out under 1.3.1 since the list markup is used incorrectly here. Maybe this is a drawback of the wiki system itself and we can‘t change it, but as an accessibility related W3C group we need to try and be a shining example to the inaccessible world.

2.      The table set up for the tests (with „possible values“ and „test requirements“ headers) should have the left column cells marked up as row headers. The column headers are actually not really important or headers, this is a name/value pair table. But I would call this out under 1.3.1 because the leftmost column clearly contains the row header for other values in the table.

 

Just something for the wiki geniuses and template matsres to look into, I would be happy to help/provide feedback or experiment.
