Summary: collapsible sidebar headings give no indication of
being collapsible
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Vector Skin

When using a text-only browser or a screen reader, it's impossible to discover
that collapsible sidebar items are indeed collapsible. The headings are plain
h5's, there's no way to know they could be clicked to expand (this also works
nicely with space or enter - if you know that it's possible).
There are several ways to address this: one would be to set an onclick event
handler (screen readers like JAWS recognize this, at least if it's done
directly in the HTML tag), or make the heading a link with a javascript URL
(not sure of the implications).
However, it should be investigated if WAI-ARIA properties could be used to make
this more accessible to non-mouse-users.
This issue is somewhat related to bug #24581.
This report results from feedback from the German Central Library for the Blind
(DZB). Please see
