WP:WikiProject Accessibility

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

The approach to make Wikipedia accessible is based on the W3C's official WCAG 2.0 ({{aka}} 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.

The related and complementary WikiProjects are

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia spoken by AI voice
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing Captions (related to alt text)
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Disability
• Wikipedia:Call a Wikipedian

There is a bot automatically generated list of active editors.

48. 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
49. {{u|Jack345110}} - 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.
