Question to , , & folks:

How do you feel about duplicate links in articles, blogs, whatever? Meaning: A certain word is a link (let's say "HEALTH") leading to an external website.

Would it annoy you if this word was always a link and it's mentioned for example 20 times in an article? Or would you rather have it only once to make it easier to scan for links?

Is there a related success criteria?

Understanding and implementing the Web Accessibility Content Guidelines (WCAG) can be difficult for even trained experts. Catherine helps us with WCAG 2.2′s newest guideline by explaining the requirements and providing examples of how to improve our user interfaces.

Re: AI and the future of Web accessibility Guidelines
'Absolute statements such as “it will never work”, and “AI will be better than people at X” are not helpful to the conversation because it is very unlikely to be an absolute result in the end. Different contexts, different machine-learning approaches, and different data-sets will produce different results.'

approximately 73.2553% of issues i've seen recently come from "we decided to keep our UI nice and clean by hiding shit in a tooltip!", followed by the crushing realisation of what it means to have an accessible tooltip

"when does it end?" asks @patrick_h_lauke

AI and the future of Web accessibility Guidelines

"Once you bring in the "AI will do it" line of thinking, we may as well
just remove any author requirement, and WCAG becomes just a list of
requirements for AI user agents to massage any old web content into
something accessible."

Are there freelance people or those who have time to work on a possible audit? If you're a beginner in the field and haven't done this kind of work, let me know as well. I'm willing to mentor. Please DM.

Key highlights from the WebAIM Million 2023 report show that of the 1 million home pages tested, 96.3% of home pages had detected WCAG failures. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

So duplicate IDs (F77) no longer mean a WCAG fail as they refer to 4.1.1 (obsolete)?

I thought I had read duplicate IDs still fail, even though 411 is obsolete..?

Speak after me:

SC 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA) does not require headings or labels. It just requires that headings and labels that are present describe the content.

This catches so many testers off-guard, and the Understanding’s “in brief” section does also a bad job of clarifying this.
