Wikipedia / Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility

Welcome to the !

This project aims to make Wikipedia accessible for users with disabilities. More specifically, accessibility means that disabled people can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with Wikipedia, and that they can contribute to Wikipedia. Accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

Details about the WikiProject Accessibility

Scope

The primary focus is on improving the accessibility of articles. The secondary focus is on actively assisting editors with disabilities or other characteristics which may inhibit their ability to contribute to the encyclopedia.

Methodology

The approach to make Wikipedia accessible is based on the W3C's official WCAG 2.0 ( ISO/IEC 40500:2012) and ATAG 2.0 guidelines. The guidelines provided by this accessibility project are merely an attempt to reword the WCAG 2.0 into a guideline hopefully easier to understand for editors who are not familiar with accessibility or web development.

  47. user:irtapil - My favourite parts of Wikipedia are the tables. These are what i find easiest to understand, due to my own combination of strengths and struggles, and i expect i am not alone in this. But i know tables can cause accessibility problems for some readers, so i'm keen to help optimise them. User_talk:irtapil

  48. - I have ADHD, Dyslexia and traits of autism so I find it hard to focus on something sometimes especially if I get bored of it.
