Summary: Improve accessibility of the search page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: accessibility
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Search
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Following recommendations by fr:User:Lgd, there would be some improvements
which could be done on the search form to improve its accessibility, according
to W3C's WCAG norms. It is a particularly important page, and even more for
people with special needs. These are:
* for each field, having a label element with attribute containing the id of
the field.
* if showing a label is not ergonomic, use the title attribute of the field
itself to indicate its use.
* Use title elements to structure the page: h2 for mw-search-numberresults, h2
on the "Advanced search", h2 for the "Sister projects".
* correct the use of elements fieldset and legend: the legend of fieldset
should be "Namespace" in order to complement the labels of the tickboxes.
* add a "title" attribute on the links which allow selecting how many results
per page should be shown to make them more explicit outside of their context,
such as title="show 20 results", title="show 50 results", etc.
* add a title attribute on the links "more" in the "Sister projects" section,
to make them more explicit outside of their context.
* Use ol elements and not ul to list results.
Hope it all makes sense!
Thanks.
