Habitica Wiki

Background: I don't have personal experience but screen readers (for people who are sight impaired/blind) will allow users to skip though a webpage from link to link, it thus makes pages much more accessible if the text for the link is actually informative as to what the link is directing to. For example I noticed that on the accessibility page there were links that just said "page" and then in the text explained that this was a page for adapting Habitica to ADHD. I've editted that to include the explanation in the link text now but this might be something it's useful including under Guidance for Scribes, especially on pages like the accessibility page.

Internal links which use the name of the page linked to are generally good - you get exactly what it says on the tin as it were though this is one reason not to linkify every instance of "Daily" on a page.

What do people think about including something in the guidance about this? Probably briefly why it's important/useful and some example dos and don'ts, starting with the most common issue where link text is just "link" or in this case "page" which is about as uninformative as possible >_<!
