I think we should maybe announce this with User-notice ?

Notice: The <mapframe> tag now supports an alt= parameter to provide alternative text for the static map images of Kartographer.

thiemowmde moved this task from Unsorted to UI tasks on the Maps (Kartographer) board.

Alternative suggestion for User-notice:

Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception are wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive.

Added to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2024/20 -- Thanks for the draft wording (x2!), always appreciated! -- It will be frozen for translations in ~21 hours, if any tweaks (or link additions/changes) are needed before then.
