:::::I think a gray background with black text is not enough contrast. Especially when the gray is too dark as in Wikipedia tables. And I keep my monitor brightness turned down. As recommended by many eye doctors. That makes the contrast even less.

:::::It is annoying. So it would be nice to have truly plain row headers with a white background and a regular (non-bold) font. Then people would be more likely to add scopes for row headers. At least for more complex tables. Scopes are not needed on simple tables. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 02:25, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

== Rowgroups and plainrowheaders ==

Hi, currently in the `Complex tables` section (but not in any section previous), it is recommended to use scope=rowgroup for row headers that are part of a rowspan. I was going to add this to my accessibility reviews at [[WP:FLC]], but quickly found out that the 'plainrowheaders' table class doesn't seem to affect scope=rowgroup cells, only scope=row. Is this a known issue? For example:

{| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders"

plainrowheaders is affecting the second non-spanned row but not the first, spanned row. --'''[[User:PresN|<span style="color:green">Pres</span>]][[User talk:PresN|<span style="color:blue">N</span>]]''' 15:10, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
