The text on these two buttons is too small. It is impossible to read this text completely. {F31903330}

====Problem==== | Image links {F42863360} | full desktop footer {F42863404} There are two image links in the footer of Wikipedia (and all MediaWiki skins) to provide movement awareness ("A Wikimedia Project") and software trademark ("Powered by Mediawiki") respectively. Both these image links are not accessible and inaccurate in the following ways: * Font-size of the image text is small. Generally does not appear to correspond with apt use of image text as defined in [[ https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/images-of-text.html | WCAG 1.4.5 ]] * PNG with alt text which is not translatable (e.g. it's English in [[ https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Accueil_principal | French Wikipedia ]]) * It is not readable by screen readers. * Design and rendered as a 'button' styling which may be misleading as it opens as a link to external sites =====Related===== * The link to Wikimedia goes to the foundation site. Brand team has previously advised it'd be better for that to link to https://wikimedia.org, however that page is pending a redesign (including a more prominent link to WMF). Task TBC to change link destination pending page update. * The mobile version of the footer is missing these links, as well as other differences in the legal text. See {T310071} and {T240807}. ====Design considerations==== * Should these continue to be image links styled as buttons? * Can the links be revised to separate the logo/favicon from the text to be more translatable? (similar to the [[ https://www.wikipedia.org/ | portal page ]] display of projects?) * Where else do these buttons appear that may be impacted by design changes? ====Acceptance criteria==== [ ] Revised design of the image links to be more accessible (legible, readable by screenreader, etc)
