      Issue Summary

      Non-descriptive label is provided for "More information about this user" button.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open the confluence home page.
      2. From the side navigation, expand "Create" button and click on "Page" link.
      3. Create a new “Confluence” page.
      4. Navigate onto the main page section, tag multiple people and publish it.
      5. Using a screen reader, navigate with down arrow (JAWS/NVDA) or VO+Right/Left arrow (VoiceOver).
      6. Navigate to the mentioned button.
      7. Observe that the button label is non-descriptive.

      Actual Results

      When screen reader users navigate to the tagged user buttons in the page, each button is announced with the same non-descriptive accessible name as "More information about this user". This occurs because the button’s accessible name uses a generic value instead of a user-specific label, such as "More information about Chirag Goyal".

      As a result, screen reader users may be unable to determine which person is tagged or mentioned on the page, or whose information will be displayed when the button is activated.

      Expected Results

      The screen reader should announce unique and descriptive labels for the buttons.

      Provide unique and descriptive labels such as "More information about Chirag Goyal" for the button by updating the aria-label attribute.

      Code snippet

      <button aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="More information about Chirag Goyal" type="button" class="_2hGPVj98eZ _2i3C1kYbGa _2kH23qT6kp _1ubuxonXvL _34b3D2vc3e _1NDpvb6wH8 _2wtOC9vc3e _3e11vU6wH8 _0hSAgbHZdu _30huDKYbGa _24h04i2Njc _034jHtYbGa _0wOv4Q7zJH _1mb4UnZqHV _3iDTPbS8kF" data-testid="user-profile-card-trigger-wrapper">
      (...)
      </button>
