Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial

This tutorial is a guideline which, as part of Wikipedia's Manual of Style, is intended to assist those creating data tables (or more often lists) in ensuring the content is accessible to all. For more info on how to create and edit tables, see Help:Table.

Guidelines on this page are ordered primarily by priority, then difficulty. The priority levels are determined by the Accessibility Success Criteria rankings A, AA, and AAA (in descending order of importance as accessibility considerations) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.[WCAG 1] The difficulty indicates if it seems easy or not for Wikipedia users to comply to the guidelines.

Guidelines here essentially follow WCAG 2.0's approach, and some additional reputable sources, like WebAIM, when relevant. A review by an accessibility expert was necessary to ensure WCAG 2.0 was interpreted correctly; this review was made in September 2010.[note 1]
