How to make Wikivoyage content accessible to humans, particularly to people who have some form of disability, whether or not they use assistive software.
- This page is about formatting content on Wikivoyage articles. For information about physical accessibility regarding travel, see Travellers with disabilities.
As a guiding principle, we should aim to meet WCAG 2.0, which is an ISO standard for web accessibility, to its level "AA", and to "AAA" where practical.
Formatting
[edit]Lists
[edit]WikiMarkup uses asterisks ("*") to form HTML lists. To be fully accessible, these must be correctly formatted, without blank lines between list items. So:
* {{see | ... }}
* {{see | ... }}
* {{see | ... }}
not:
* {{see | ... }}
* {{see | ... }}
* {{see | ... }}
To create an indented second-level list, use multiple asterisks. Indenting using colons looks visually similar, but the structure is different and incorrect. Format it like this:
* Item
** Detail
** Detail
* Item
not:
* Item
:* Detail
:* Detail
* Item
