Hi, I'm CrazyBuilder from England. I'm new to editing Wikipedia pages (as of July 2024) and intend to stay around.

I have a wide range of interests, from mathematics to medicine, science to sport, history to geography and more. However, I do not have any real expertise in anything in particular.

Mind you, I do know HTML (hypertext markup language) well, particularly version 5, CSS (cascading style sheets) tolerably well, and I have some skill in making websites more accessible to all users. I also have some experience in copy-editing.

I'm slowly understanding how Wikipedia works and how to mark up the pages. So far, so good.

I am working on making tables more accessible, especially for screen reader users. This involves adding captions (mainly hidden) and adding scope attributes to headers—even creating those headers where they are not identified as such. I am also adding headers to columns that do not have them: this improves accessibility for all users.

Please correct me

This user tries to do the right thing. If they make a mistake, please let them know.

Notes

Because my memory is not necessarily good and there is a lot to learn as an editor here, I note important information and (Wikipedia) links:

• "Presently acceptable sources are tv guide, rotten tomatoes, comedy guide."
  —User:James Kevin McMahon
  For more guidance, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.
• How do I make CrazyBuilder my signature? Change and save in my Wikipedia:User profile page preferences. (The colours satisfy contrast requirements for WCAG's 2.0 level AA)
• Here is my updated signature: CrazyBuilder talk 14:56, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
  Alleluia!! That was more of a struggle than expected.
• I think a bot has corrected the user category template from 'Book' to 'Literature'. Sweet.
• As a shortcut, one can make link text plural by putting an 's' immediately after the closing square bracket. Nice one.
• When naming a source, remember to put the name in the opening tag for both the definition and its subsequent use
• Tables are complicated to mark up: see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial for more details and Help:table for some helpful and interesting stuff
• Useful templates for tables include "sticky header" and "Screen reader-only"
• Do not put lines between list items—this will split the list for screen reader users. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Lists for more details
• When adding a userbox, be careful not to copy in categories that do not belong on a User page—as advised by User:Catfurball, who cleaned up my userboxes for me and whom I thanked
• See more on userboxes
• See Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup for possible templates to place at the top of a page that needs work
• When editing a table, avoid putting refs in the headers—consider using the caption, as appropriate
• Be sure to identify words and phrases not in English using the template:lang/doc guidelines, but remember those who cannot hover, and …
• Advice from Coolguy22468: "Translations should only be used if they are actually used by the organisation or there is a reliable source for it. Otherwise it could be classed as WP:OR."

Alt attribute test

Can we add an alt attribute to any image that does not have one? It turns out that we can.
