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: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
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.
