    It would make a good project for someone who is new to the Drupal contribution process. It's preferred over Newbie.

  • Needs accessibility review

    Used to alert the accessibility topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the accessibility of Drupal, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). Useful links: Drupal's accessibility standards, the Drupal Core accessibility gate.

  • Needs change record

    A change record needs to be drafted before an issue is committed. Note: Change records used to be called change notifications.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    Posted to the #accessibility channel to see if they can take a look

    But if we are changing all the theme templates won't we need a change record if any thing base themed off one of these?

  • Hi, Lighthouse complains that links are not crawlable in our new site on D9.5.7 that doesn't show up in Google search so far. It specifies
    "Uncrawlable Link", and

      div#main-wrapper > div#main > div.main-content > a#main-content
    <a id="main-content" tabindex="-1">

    I am a bit lost as to which patches have been applied in 9.5.7, if any, and what workaround could currently actually be applied with the least damage resulting elsewhere. Or is an upgrade to D10 the best solution?

    Hello Folks,
    In Drupal 10.1.x-dev anchor tag comes with href attribute. So no need to work.

    After looking further, it was discovered that the anchor tag's href property was missing, thus href was added in accordance with usual practise.
    After applying the fix, I verified that the lighthouse reports were error-free.
    Please review

    #47 is wrong, now the anchor is a link to itself.

    I still think the simplest solution is to put the ID directly on the <main> element.

    I came across this other core issue regarding these same links, and I think a solution should probably consider both of these issues...?

    Seems latest change caused failures.

    What do you mean by that, @smustgrave?

    #50 didn't fully pass. Caused some nightwatch errors I believe.
