Spans wrongly used to carry information

 * In Navbar  is not accessible and will not be read by assistive technologies. It should be replaced by  . Sadly ABBR color is changed to black in a global style sheet, should be fixed first.

Links moved over an image

 * Template:Conservation status, Template:IUCN 3.1 navmap/full: imagemap is used correctly and is accessible. See also H24: Providing text alternatives for the area elements of image maps.

Examples of content that is not accessible

 * Lists with long textual content (whole paragraphs!) used for layout
 * Semantically incorrect, not a list;
 * Often, a return is introduced between each element in the list in order to make a somewhat margin-bottom (enhances readability). The margin is actually caused by the ending of the list and the beginning of a new, which makes the whole list semantically useless;
 * Often, a return is introduced between each element in the list in order to make the source code easier to read.
 * definition description ":" used for layout, in "see also" at the top of pages of sections. Should be replaced by a template like seealso
 * Various needs for lists;
 * HiddenStructure
 * Maps with content added on it with position:absolute (pseudo-CSS content), or span title:
 * Postal_codes_in_Canada
 * Genealogy:
 * Jaime,_Duke_of_Madrid
 * Userboxtop and Albertosaurus
 * Layout tables:
 * Ediacara biota
 * Data tables:
 * Issues with rowspans
 * Utilisateur:Ascaron/couveuse: "example" section is under correct row headers, but has nothing to do with column headers. This table mixes data with layout.
 * Row headers spanning several rows (without more precise sub row headers), example with an issue on the date
 * More than tow level of headings makes it confusing for screen readers (see WebAIM article)
 * Several column headers placed inside the tables to separate visually the table, see the example on the best practices. Split the table in several tables.
 * Row header not relevant as a header (date is chosen instead of the album title), example
 * Collapsible function in tables needs an incorrect header in order to work properly.
 * Bad structure and visual order, with icons and couloured example, partial correction.
 * row headers not marked as such
 * Data conveyed by color alone: Fiscal calendar.
 * Armand Parmentier and the likes
 * Yvonne van Gennip, several column headers in the middle of the table

Example of templates that were fixed

 * Template:Cards/core after discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(accessibility)
