Writing Accessible Article Labels
Writing Accessible Article Labels records a distinct W3C-supported accessible-naming task and keeps implementation mechanics outside the writing guidance.
When multiple article regions need distinction, use a concise name based on each article’s own visible title or unique subject.
Key details
Important caveats
Scope Boundary
This page covers general article-region naming; feed-specific article naming remains owned by the existing feed-article guide.
Further guidance
Content
Prefer visible article heading text as the naming basis when it already identifies the article; keep labels short and unique enough to distinguish peers.
Purpose
Distinct article names can make a collection of article regions easier to navigate and identify.
