Bug 11555 - huge usability problem for blind readers
|
|
Sorry for this question but the answer is important for all blind Wikipedia
readers around the world.
Is it possible to fix bug 11555 or is it probably not possible because of
technical reasons? Would a fix be a very difficult work and there is no time
for it now or in the next half year?
A fix would be a huge improvement for the usability experience of blind
screen reader users. As it seems, only the German Wikipedia and a few other
projects have this great improvement which makes navigating on Mediawiki
pages much better for blind readers like me. Wikipedia have masses of blind
readers but only users with account can use a JS snippet or this proposed
gadget in the future:

Most blind readers won't never create an account because of the CAPTCHA
problem or because they just want to read but not to contribute. The best
solution would be a bug fix for 11555 if possible. This would also be the
answer wether the proposed gadget is even necessary or not. Thank you.
Best, Per
