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

The different create links in the 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 🐛 [regression] Pages Manage Fields, Manage form, Manage display should include name of content type or entity Postponed as well.

Button and Drop-Button on /admin/config/user-interface/navigation-block
VO-output Drop-button: List additional actions
VO-output Drop-button option: Translate
VO-output Configure: Edit Shortcuts
VO-output disabled button: Enable
the drop button is missing a context you have five times the same list additional actions label, same for all the available options. the configure button is called edit instead, the verb should be consistent in the ui and the aural interface. the enable label has the same problem list the list additional actions, it is missing the context.

Place navigation block on /admin/config/user-interface/navigation-block/library?region=content
VO-output button: Place navigation block
you have eight time the place navigation block button without any context.

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

#1 "In regards of the navigation logo announce that logo link is forwarding the user to the front page of the default theme."

- using hidden text in the A tag
- using title text in A Tag
- what phrase should be used.

extending
- Navigation config for phrase
- wide: Navigation config for Path itself?

re #4 🐛 Make the link descriptions more descriptive, helpful, and clear. Active I've commented on the newly created issue. and a good call tagging it for usability review. even though it is a short label for the logo, it is kind og tricky and it might be beneficial discussing it in a group context

the only question i have what do you mean with

extending
- Navigation config for phrase
- wide: Navigation config for Path itself?

could you clarify that please?

I had asked ckrina (in admin_ui meeting this morning) about this comment. i put it here to be able to discuss for the actual followup ticket summary.
I was proposing around if we need the fields on the form (:

Thanks @rkoller for the feedback!
Removing "In regards of the navigation logo announce that logo link is forwarding the user to the front page of the default theme." since it has its own issue in 🐛 navigation Logo does not communicated where the link is taking the user Needs work .
Also, this issue should be split into smaller issues with specific recommendations for each point so they can be addressed easier. Smaller and focused issues are always better and easier. :)
