Bug #: 41297
Summary: MediaWiki's assistive headers are broken in modern
browsers
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: ---
In vector we output assistive headers into h5's to separate the parts of the UI
for users using screen readers to understand.
However we use display: none; on these headers.
Modern screen readers use standard css-capable web browsers. This means that
use of display: none; hides content from the very users who are supposed to be
seeing them.
WAVE's text overview provides a good view of how this affects the output since
they intentionally hide content that is display: none;ed to reflect the reality
of screen readers:

As you can see our personal links, namespaces, and actions all just end up as a
big mass of unlabeled lists that appear conceptually as part of the page text
after categories.
