Bug ID: 64519
Summary: MultimediaViewer "Use this file>Embed>Wikitext"
snippet should have an alt element to encourage
alternative text best practice should display CC icons
also for CC-BY-SA-XX
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

It is recommended that when used on Wikimedia projects images are given
alternative texts − see http://enwp.org/WP:ALT
When using the "Use this file>Embed>Wikitext" feature, MultimediaViewer
provides a wikitext snippet such as
[[File:Common_Kingfisher_Alcedo_atthis.jpg|thumb|Common Kingfisher Alcedo
atthis]]
A fr.wp user pointed out in their feedback that the snippet should have an alt=
element, to encourage this accessibility best practice.
(Marking as Unconfirmed as the risk of users leaving an empty alt seems high,
and it seems that an empty alt is bad).
