           Summary: Red-link “discussion” tab indicated by colour only
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: User interface
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: mich...@zajac.ca
            Blocks: 367


When a page has no discussion yet, this status is indicated by the red colour
of the “Discussion” link in the tab at the top, but not by other means. 
This is an accessibility blocker, because information conveyed by colour must
also be indicated in text or markup: Priority 1 in WCAG 1.0
(http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#tech-color-convey), Level A in
WCAG 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast-without-color).

This could be fixed simply by appending “(page does not exist)” to the
title attribute as is done for red links in the body of a page, or by changing
the title from “Discussion about the content page” to “Start discussion
about the content page”.
