Wikimedia badge alt text should match image text
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Author: michael

Description:
The Wikimedia badge image at the bottom of the template “A Wikimedia project” has alt text “Wikimedia Foundation”. The alt text should be adjusted to match the graphic text.

WCAG 1.0 requires “equivalent text”, and the Samurai Errata specifically requires “an alt text of exactly the same text.” WCAG 2.0 states “when an image contains words that are important to understanding the content, the alt text should include those words.”
