Web browser: --- Bug #: 41296 Summary: Footer does not have an assistive header Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: Interface AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: mediawiki-b...@nadir-seen-fire.com CC: krinklem...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- We place an assistive text header into various parts of vector. This is supposed to section up the UI so that a user at a screen reader, etc... will have text associated with each area of the UI permitting them to understand what each part is a part of. However our footer does not have one of these. As a result in our footer blending in and conceptually being treated as a part of the last portlet in the sidebar. Sometimes something like "Help", others "Toolbox", and commonly on en.wp "Languages". You can see a few that might help you understand it at: http://wave.webaim.org/report?view=textonly&url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Fleming That's a textual+headers overview of the page that helps you view a page similarly to how a screen reader will present it to the user. (Which likewise in many cases will be similar to how a search engine / spider will conceptualize a page) You can see the stuff inside the footer belending in with the last portlet header. This is how it will be treated towards a blind, etc... user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
