    Description

      Issue Summary

      The Menu bar link to the source page is announced inappropriately to the screen reader users.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In the left sidebar section select any page from the available space.
      2. In the page header section, keeping the screen reader on, navigate to the "Edit" link to edit the page.
      3. Observe the "Watch" linksannounced by the screen reader.

      Actual Results

      The "Watch" link in the Menu bar section on the active page, is announced inappropriately to the screen reader users. The link is announced as "Watch ('w')", etc. which makes it for the screen reader user difficult to understand the functionality associated with it.

      Note: This is a JAWS-specific issue.

      Expected Results

      Provide an appropriate title to the link such as the title="Watch 'w'", etc. to the particular links. Ensure the links are announced appropriately to the screen reader users.

      Refer to the following Code snippet:

       

      <a id="watch-content-button" href="/wiki" rel="nofollow" class="aui-button aui-button-subtle watch-menu watch-state-initialised active" title="Watch ('w')" aria-label="Watch 'w'" resolved="">                        <span><span class="aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-unwatch"></span> <u>W</u>atch</span>        </a>
