review link/button text and expand or add labels where necessary (WCAG 2.4.4, 3.3.2)
Description
Accessibility Lab recommendation:
The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general.
User Research Evidence
WCAG 2.4.4 per #5972.
Implementation
Suggested as part of accessibility review of #6315:
- When a user navigates using a screen-reader, do existing text/labels give sufficient context for where links will take them and what button will do ("Delete user
journalist")? or must they infer from surrounding elements ("Delete user")? - "Read more" links should have
aria-labels that expand to "Read more about [...]"
