508-defect-2 [SEMANTIC MARKUP]: Links SHOULD not have title attributes

[jenstrickland]

508-defect-2

Description

Still an issue in D10

There are links within page content of the Erie VAMC site that have title attributes. These should be removed as they will interfere with screen readers.

Acceptance Criteria

• For every <a href="… there should not be a title="text".
• Accessibility review

Steps to Recreate

1. Go to the Erie medical Center page
2. Hover over "Learn more about DAV and the other van services available in your county" link
3. Verify that a small "tool tip" like bit of text appears

Additional Context

• This title attribute is not being added manually by the editor, I confirmed in the CMS
  Screenshot of Link in the Rich text editor - there is no title:
  

Screenshot of the View node - now there is a title:

• It's also odd that every link on this node is not getting a title, none of these have it:
  

• This is also not just happening on Facilities pages, I have an issue of this occurring very recently on a Benefits page:

@laflannery this is a core issue. See https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3083583

Brought this up to Mike so we can hopefully talk about/work through this at this months Drupal a11y office hours and get some momentum on this

Remove title - YES

• Rain suggests if starting with the smaller approach, include helpful information that explains why

Laura added that their module (probably Linkit) is auto adding the title from the destination node

• There might be a setting where we can turn this off, Plugin settings

Some helpful drupaly things:

• https://www.drupal.org/project/linkit/issues/1892992
• https://www.drupal.org/project/linktitle

If we have to make a patch for this too: Have to think about both the specific project, and others who have legacy content created with less knowledge

During refinement on 6/30, the team discussed how to break this 13 point ticket down into smaller chunks. We will be doing this by having this ticket representing the discovery and fix work. There will be a 2nd ticket (#14244) that tracks the drupal community feedback loops -- both the timing for feedback AND the lift for the feedback are uncertainties. Therefore the story points for that 2nd story will start with a midpoint, but will likely change as more information is obtained.

Still an issue and should be addressed.
