Accessibility Error: Links must have discernible text

[beckej13820]

I have been doing automated accessibility testing on an Omeka S site using the Item Carousel Block. The accessibility tool I am using for the testing is Axe Dev Tools, a free browser extension created by Deque. https://www.deque.com/axe/devtools/

The error I am getting from the plugin is: Links must have discernible text.

The issue is the way that the plugin makes the entire block around the slider into a link, with no text associated directly with the link.

This is a WCAG 2.1 level A violation, and Axe rates it as a "Serious" error.

There are multiple suggestions from Deque in how to fix this error:

Fix at least one (1) of these issues:

• Element does not have text that is visible to screen readers
• aria-label attribute does not exist or is empty
• aria-labelledby attribute does not exist, references elements that do not exist or references elements that are empty
• Element has no title attribute

I think it would be most appropriate is to use the link title attribute and to fill it with the item's name.
