List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
- Visit the Wikipedia page for Domestication
- In the same browser, visit the Wikipedia page for Cat
- Inspect the link "domestic" in the first paragraph
What happens?:
The style for a:visited is:
a:visited {
color: #0b0080;
}
which has link to body text contrast of 1.01 to 1, a violation of WCAG 2.0 A.
What should have happened instead?:
The style for a:visited is something like:
a:visited {
color: #C200C2;
}
which has link to body text contrast of 3.12 to 1.
(Doesn't have to be this particular color, but does need a contrast of 3:1 or greater.)
While this can be mitigated by logging in to Wikipedia and setting a preference to always underline links, that requires an account.
Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc.:
Justification:
Success Criterion 1.4.1 Use of Color
together with
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)
and technique
Using a contrast ratio of 3:1 with surrounding text and providing additional visual cues on hover for links or controls where color alone is used to identify them
