Issue Summary
There is a non-descriptive link such as "Learn more" present on the page
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the homepage.
- Go to projects link present in header section.
- Activate "PROJ" link.
- Now activate the "awesome-go" link.
- Select a "Branches" link from side navigation.
- Using screen reader, navigate to the link.
- Verify that link is non-descriptive.
Screenshot
Actual Results
The link text does not describe the destination it points to.
As a result, screen reader users might not understand the purpose of the link effectively.
Expected Results
We should take a reference from the surrounding text to make it descriptive, but in this scenario there is no such visual reference which will be used to make the link descriptive. So in that case we will use aria-label attribute.
Code Snippet
<a src="https://..." aria-label="learn more about branches in bitbucket">(...)</a>
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
