Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):
Replying to [comment:4 joedolson]:
> This was introduced in [34525]. It looks like the intent was to provide
greater context for screen readers than the default text offered; but I
think that's not necessary or helpful. As long as the link's text provides
meaningful linking content, the aria-label is unnecessary.
I think the "Edit your profile" part was the point here, per
comment:20:ticket:29974 and comment:23:ticket:29974:
> that link points to your profile but the link text is your display name,
this could be confusing when read out of context. To be honest, I think
it's not so clear also for sighted users :)
Does "Edit your profile" in the label makes the link a bit less confusing?
