For the pages that have list of links, it does seem like combining adjacent cover art and title links into one link would
- follow recommended practice
- announce where the cover art link goes, which seems like something voters wanted (in this case, the title of the game is where the link goes)
- avoid redundancy in announcing two links that go to the same place
- avoid potential problems with screen readers trying to supply their own information about where the image link goes if we keep the image by itself with an empty alt attribute
For the cover art on the game page and the larger cover art with the copyright info, it sounds like even fairly simple alt text would be an improvement over something like “viewgame coverart&id=mohwfk47yâ”. Ideally we could also include custom image descriptions on one or both of those pages, though that might be a bigger project, and I’m not actually sure if it’s possible in the current dev environment (the readme says it doesn’t include the images database). But it seems like a good goal.
