Notes on creating a RTL-accessible tool in MediaWiki - Wikitech-l

14 Dec 2016

      Hi all!
When developing the Revision Slider extension [1] earlier this year, we (at
Wikimedia Germany) have learned quite some things about making extensions
and gadgets accessible for RTL language users. We have just published the
write up [2] summarizing what we've discovered.
We hope people developing new and existing tools, and in general developers
sensitive to RTL accessibility issues will find these notes interesting
and/or helpful.
Any comments are welcome!
