      Actual Results

      An inappropriate and non-descriptive label such as “Other” is provided for the link in the toolbar which fails to convey the functionality associated with the link for screen reader users. As a result, screen reader users might not understand the purpose of the link effectively.

      Expected Results

      Provide appropriate and descriptive label “Insert Macro” using the “aria-label” attribute in the <a> element.

      Code Snippet

      <a href="#" aria-label="Insert Macro" class="aui-button aui-button-subtle aui-dropdown2-trigger wiki-edit-operation-dropdown wiki-edit-other-picker-trigger wiki-edit-tooltip" aria-owns="wiki-edit-dropdown2-other-wikiEdit1" aria-haspopup="true" aria-controls="wiki-edit-dropdown2-other-wikiEdit1" data-aui-alignment-container="#description-wiki-edit" resolved="" aria-expanded="false" aria-disabled="false" aria-describedby="aui-tooltip"><span class="aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-add">Other</span>
