Comment (by afercia):
To summarize further actions that should go in a new ticket:
- Make sure all the Error and Warning notices use respectively an "Error:"
and "Warning:" text prefix
- Further discuss whether also the "Success" and "Info" notices should use
a similar text prefix
- Update documentation related to admin notices, for example:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_notices and
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_notices/
- Create a new issue on the Gutenberg GitHub to add text prefixes for the
editor notices: right now, none of them uses a prefix (see screenshot
below)
**Accessibility improvements**
At the very least (see comment:34):
- PHP notices: the notice text, or maybe better some text that informs
users there's a notice, should be prepended to the document title as
that's the first thing screen readers announce after a page load
- PHP notices: explore mechanisms to allow users to navigate to the
notices, whether they're printed out close to the main H1 heading or in
the middle of the page
- JavaScript notices: notices injected in the DOM should have an aria role
alert or status so that they're automatically announced by screen readers
- In any case, an admin notice should be visually prominent and appear
within the current viewport for low vision users
