Talk:Accessibility and usability cleanup

Idea for Restructuring
For the Hackathon 2022, we are planning a new stab at the documentation. What I have in mind is a restructuring, that doesn't repeat information more than needed and separates the documentation in the three places for different audiences:


 * Editors and Template authors (Wikipedia et al)
 * Developers (mediawiki.org)
 * General audience (Meta Wiki)

Usability wiki
Hi. This looks great :) I have two questions: guillom 07:53, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Does this include merging all of Usability wiki into mediawiki.org? If it does, yay! If not, why?
 * If not, I see that only the Wikipedia Usability Initiative is listed from the Usability wiki. What is the rationale behind not including the Multimedia Usability Initiative?
 * Re: Multimedia: I blame my compiling this late at night, for missing the Multimedia links. >.> I've added a link to the hub and an example, for now. Feel free to do anything you like with this page - I was compiling it for everyone to use, in whatever way is best. The incomplete SeeAlsos, and scattered/outdated info, were bugging me ;-) Also, the UX team asked me to compile a comprehensive list.
 * Re: Merging usabilitywiki all here: Ummm, that sounds like a potentially good idea to me (there are roughly 120 pages in the mainspace and Multimedia: namespaces, plus many talkpages attached to those), but I'm not sure why it wasn't done years ago, and hence would need to investigate that! Do you know? Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 21:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Quiddity (WMF): I've dived into my email and bugzilla archives, and couldn't find the previous discussions, so maybe they happened in person; I can't remember :/ I do remember that I've wanted to merge them for years, and I assume that if it wasn't done, it was either because there was a strong opposition, or because it was deemed not worth the work, or a combination of both. Enough water may have gone under the bridge to ask again; it's not a high priority anyway, I just saw your page and thought that if someone was going to consolidate and move pages around, it was worth mentioning :) guillom 09:40, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Accessibility is a key factor for Mediawiki.ui User:MSyed (WMF) and User:MGalloway (WMF) will be working together to include accessibility guidelines and best practices into the Living style guide. Jaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 12:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
