Writing Accessible Feed Labels
Writing Accessible Feed Labels records a distinct W3C-supported interface-content task while keeping implementation mechanics outside the writing guidance.
Give a feed a concise name that identifies the collection or stream as a whole, separate from its individual article labels.
Key details
Important caveats
Scope Boundary
This page covers naming the feed container; the distinguishing labels of individual feed articles are a separate writing task.
Further guidance
Content
Write the feed label to identify the collection or stream as a whole, such as activity updates or recent articles, without repeating the labels of its individual articles.
Purpose
A clear feed name gives the dynamic collection a stable purpose and distinguishes it from other regions or feeds on the page.
