I recommend the accessibility problems reported in these comments be created as separate issues to be prioritized. Specifically:

This issue is dedicated to feedback. However, the items above have been lost in the thread and I believe are not properly prioritized. These are usability issues that have a direct impact on site visitors. Additionally, I feel these detract from Drupal's credibility and our commitment to accessibility.

Personally, I am advocating for #173 🐛 Feedback on Modern Drupal.org Design Active to be resolved because I recommended an engineer to follow Drupal's approach for "Skip to" links and they reported that these were broken on the home page and caused unnecessary confusion.

@itmaybejj please disregard! In our projects, we had an issue where configuration for "Check content in these containers" wasn't correct. Editoria11y was failing silently due to this bad config. We were able to correct our configuration and everything is now working as desired.

When I rolled back to 2.2.5, the config for "Check content in these containers" was reset, so that is the reason it worked again. It had nothing to do with version. It had everything to do with bad config causing silent failures.

Apologies for the confusion! Silent failures are the hardest to troubleshoot!

@itmaybejj I'm sorry to report that heading detection is no longer working in version 2.2.6. Our websites have the setting "Auto-detect any Web components" checked on and Editoria11y no longer detects web component headings skipped nor does it detect straight up HTML headings skipped.

I have attached screenshots for context. Can you please verify that indeed this latest release 2.2.6 is no longer checking headings properly? I'm happy to provide more context or additional testing.

For now, I am recommending that our sites roll back to Editoria11y version 2.2.5 until we get a point of view from y'all. Thank you!

@itmaybejj I have confirmed this is fixed by testing version 2.2.5.

I first tested with the new param "Auto-detect any Web components" turned on. Success!

Next, I tested with only the "Check inside these specific Web components" with the value "pds-heading". Also success!

Screenshots attached of my local testing as editoria11y-test-1.png, editoria11y-test-2.png, editoria11y-test-3.png

Thank you so much for addressing this issue. Our Content Authors will be very relieved they can rely on this tool once again to catch skipped headings. Our team appreciates you and this module!

All dates have been updated from 2024 to 2025. This was done in a planning meeting by @froboy and @teknorah.

@andrewozone went through each slide in the template and confirmed contrast passes WCAG 2.2. Screenshots of each background and text contrast combination used in the template are attached to this ticket.

The following article "Make your PowerPoint presentations accessible to people with disabilities" was also used to review the slides and adjustments added.

Andrew Olson has performed a first pass at the audit. Issues can be found in the Google Spreadsheet in the 2025 Accessibility folder on the MidCamp Google Drive.

In addition, Editoria11y roles have been (or soon will be) updated and issues are now captured in the Admin at the following link: https://www.midcamp.org/admin/reports/editoria11y
Please reach out to get an updated role and view this link if you are interested in contribution and unable to view the link.

Next steps

  • A Drupal developer works on remediation tasks identified in the Google Spreadsheet
  • Content remediation using Editoria11y. Reach out if you have issues with access or roles.

Hello, attended to discuss a11y things.

Attended and talked about Accessibility things.

Additional screen shots added to provide context on our Heading web component structure.

Agree with @matthand on the need to check inside the web component and not only the slot. Unfortunately, this update did not resolve our issue due to the structure of our Heading web component. Editoria11y is not able to check all our Heading web components at the moment.

Attached is a screenshot of our Heading web component structure where the heading tags are outside the slot. We only have text inside the slot, so this is ignored by Editoria11y. You can visit this page on our web site to see the H1 as our Heading web component. https://www.principal.com/finpro/policy-riders-and-endorsements.

teknorah has been able to coordinate with DePaul to get free monitors for live captioning main sessions. MidCamp is able to use 2x (40)” TVs on a cart and 1x (50)” TV on a cart. Andrew Olson the sizes will work great for live captioning!

Phil Alonso and Andrew Olson met to discuss the accessibility audit on Wednesday, January 15.

From this conversation, Phil was able to coordinate with the website team to get the Editoria11y module installed on the MidCamp website 📌 Install and Enable Editoria11y Accessibility Checker Fixed . A preliminary list of issues has been captured by the Editoria11y module and is attached as a CSV. Note that these issues need to be reviewed and tasks defined to fix them.

Phil and Andrew also identified which tools will be used for the audit in addition to the Editoria11y module. The following Chrome browser extensions will be used to identify issues:

Phil reached out to AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick) and was able to get a copy of a spreadsheet template we can use to capture the accessibility issues. Phil plans to share this spreadsheet by uploading it to the 2025 MidCamp Google Drive "Accessibility" folder.

Next steps are to use the tools to identify issues, then add them to the template spreadsheet. Once identified, we will create tasks to address the issues and keep the spreadsheet up to date with progress.

Sorry for the major delay on this update, but I have reviewed and concur this has been resolved on the current MidCamp site.

We are due for another accessibility audit, so I will work on creating another ticket and see if anyone on the team is interested in auditing the current MidCamp site.
