After a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (accessibility), it became clear that great changes needs to be prepared on a dedicated subpage.

Each section is a draft for a change. They have several possible status. A draft is ready to be implemented in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (accessibility) once it's marked as "reviewed by an accessibility expert and ready for implementation".

Criteria on this page are prioritized according to impact (W3C's accessibility level of priorities: A, AA or AAA) and degree of feasibility (with MediaWiki's syntax and the burden it places on users).

Layout tables

Statuts : under construction

Bad example

From S.M.A.R.T.. This layout table uses a table header, which indicates a data table where it is a layout table. Also, it uses a poorly contrasted icon without alt text.

Legend
 
Higher raw value is better
 
Lower raw value is better
Critical: red colored row
Potential indicators of imminent electromechanical failure

Good example

Icons with improved contrast, alt text and no link. The warning information given by the red row is now also textually provided by the warning icon thanks to alt=warning.

Legend
 
Higher raw value is better

alt=Lower Lower raw value is better
