 | I will be taking a wikibreak from talk page discussions and project space discussions. Some of the aforementioned discussions have become stressful to me, and more often than not, they generate more heat than light. |

Accessibility
Formatting of tables - please note that using <br /> or <hr /> tags in adjacent cells to emulate a visual row is not recommended. This is a problem for users of screen readers which read tables cell by cell, HTML row by HTML row, not visual row by visual row.
Here are some examples of what I mean, Bad Girls, and Glee which both use the <br /> formatting for the "Character" and "Actor" columns. Imagine being able to only listen to these articles and trying to figure out what character goes with what actor.
Do not use abbreviations to communicate important information, and use text alongside numbers, when it is unclear what the numbers represent, as seen in: RuPauls Drag Race Progress Table. This alternate table is accessible.
Screen readers can not read flag icons (by themselves), colors, symbols and sometimes screenreaders can not interpret abbreviations or acronyms properly. Ensure that flag icons, abbreviations, colors in tables and symbols are not the only method used to communicate important information. Words as the primary means of communication should always be given greater precedence over flag icons (by themselves), colors, abbreviations, acronyms and symbols.
