Welcome to theAccessibility WikiProject!
This project aims to make Wikipedia accessible for users with disabilities. More specifically, accessibility means that disabled people can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with Wikipedia, and that they can contribute to Wikipedia. Accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

The primary focus is on improving theaccessibility of articles. The secondary focus is on actively assisting editors withdisabilities or other characteristics which may inhibit their ability to contribute to the encyclopedia.
The approach to make Wikipedia accessible is based on theW3C's officialWCAG 2.0 (a.k.a.ISO/IEC 40500:2012) andATAG 2.0 guidelines. The guidelines provided by this accessibility project are merely an attempt to reword the WCAG 2.0 into a guideline hopefully easier to understand for editors who are not familiar with accessibility orweb development.
