 Currently, when a user searches the theme directory for Accessibility
 Ready themes, there is no indication of what this tag means. Some users
 may misconstrue this tag as meaning that the theme is fully WCAG
 compliant.

 We would like to add an alert to the top of the theme search that explains
 what the tag means if a user chooses to filter by it. As more laws around
 the world require websites to conform to WCAG, this distinction is
 increasingly important.

 **Proposed text:
 **
 Themes labeled as accessibility-ready have been independently reviewed
 against a set of WordPress-specific [theme accessibility
 requirements]https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/accessibility/required/.
 They have not been tested for [Web Content Accessibility
 Guidelines]https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/ conformance.
 There should be a reference to relevant WCAG criteria under each section.

 **Location**

 This banner would be visible on https://wordpress.org/themes/tags
 /accessibility-ready/ or any search that included the accessibility ready
 tag, such as https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/accessibility-ready+block-
 patterns+custom-background/

 ** Design **
 @slferguson has a proposed design to upload.
