Move accessibility concerns on datalist to a more prominent position #28189
Conversation
This is a major set of accessibility concerns, and right now it's below the tech specs. This needs to be somewhere people will see it.
The order of all MDN pages should be approximately the same. That is why the a11y section was located just above specifications |

That seems like it's worth a larger conversation. People rarely sit and read through a document like this, burying accessibility somewhere it won't be noticed seems contrary to MDN's ethos. |
Hi @hkolbeck thanks for proposing the changes, as Estelle mentioned we're trying to stick to conventions for the page structures. The page template for HTML elements is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Writing_guidelines/Page_structures/Page_types/HTML_element_page_template#accessibility_concerns which at least shows that it can be moved before the technical summary.
You're more than welcome to start one, we're using GitHub discussions for topics like this if you feel like opening one. Thanks :) |
I've started a discussion here: https://github.com/orgs/mdn/discussions/430 |
I'm down to review this, but I think we should resolve the discussion first. I've gone over there and given my 2 cents. |
Not sure what the final decision will be, but this is likely not going to be it. Closing. If we decide to go with this, we can re-open |
Absolutely, I meant to close this. Apologies. |

Description
Right now the accessibility concerns on are buried in a place they won't be noticed, given their severity it seems worth putting this somewhere more prominent
Motivation
I care about web accessibility, and I want other folks to be alerted when they're making the web less accessible.
