Make the link descriptions more descriptive, helpful, and clear.

Created on 9 April 2024, over 1 year ago

Problem/motivation

There are a few links in the sidebar that could benefit from a more clear description where they are leading the user. A few examples, the drawer headings pattern is applicable to the entire sidebar:

The Navigation logo
VO-output: visited, link, image, Navigation logo, Administrative toolbar content, navigation
It is not really communicated where the link is taking the user

The drawer headings
VO-output top level item: extend create, collapsed button list 4 items
VO-output heading drawer: current page, visited, link create
it is not clear that the link create will forward the user to the node create overview page

create drawer -
VO-output: link, Article
The context is missing. Let's say you have media, content types and alike installed and you are having a media type and a content type with the name Article you wouldnt be able to distinguish both, neither a sighted nor a screenreader user. a pattern we ideated for the h1 and pagetitle in drupal core πŸ› [regression] Pages Manage Fields, Manage form, Manage display should include name of content type or entity Postponed as well.

Proposed resolution

  • In regards of the navigation logo announce that logo link is forwarding the user to the front page of the default theme.
  • provide the information that the user is forwarded to the "overview" page of that top level menu item
  • add the context aka entity type of the to be created node
