 In [changeset:"58146" 58146]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="58146"
 Administration: A11y: Replace placeholders with visible labels.

 Add visible labels to inputs that are using placeholder attributes as a
 substitute for visible labeling.

 Labels added or made visible on the customizer theme search, customizer
 widget search, customizer menu item search, customizer new page UI, the
 search plugins screens, the media search screens, and the classic editor
 link inserter.

 Props afercia, joedolson, rcreators, sabernhardt.
 See #40331.
