Yes, we definitely need someone to test mobile web & the new apps on iOS's 'VoiceOver' screen reader mode and Android's 'TalkBack' at some point and let us know what works/doesn't work for visually-impaired users.

Do we have someone working on accessibility issues in general that we can have help with this or will we need to take testing on ourselves when time permits?

it is, I just hadn’t thought of the issue with text browsers, but either way it’s a very much needed fix for accessibility reasons.

Thanks, guys.

Is this the same issue you're describing Dario?

You mean title attributes?

Yeh they should have labels or title attributes for accessibility reasons. This has been somewhat neglected since tooltips don't even appear on mobile devices.

I think Pine raised a similar issue on list yesterday.

Hi all – am I missing something or the Edit and Watchlist links (under li#ca-edit and li#ca-watch) should have HTML titles?
I noticed this while browsing the mobile version on a desktop browser, I was expecting descriptive titles when hovering with the mouse over those elements.
