[[Wikipedia:Web accessibility|Web accessibility]] is the goal of making web pages easier to navigate and read. While this is primarily intended to assist those with [[Wikipedia:Disability|disabilities]], it can be helpful to all readers. The following suggestions are based on the [[Wikipedia:WCAG|Web Content Accessibility Guidelines]] 2.0 (a.k.a. [[Wikipedia:International Standards Organization|ISO]]/IEC 40500:2012).

A standardized structure of articles improves accessibility, because it enables users to expect contents to be in a specific part of the page. For example, a blind user is searching for disambiguation links. If he doesn't find any at the top of the page, he will know that there aren't any and he doesn't have to read the whole page to find that out. | A standardized structure of articles improves accessibility, because it enables users to expect contents to be in a specific part of the page.

UniWiki articles should be accessible to readers using devices with small screens, or to readers using monitors with a low resolution. The lowest resolution that it is considered possible to support without adversely affecting other users is 1024×768; all articles should look acceptable at this resolution without excessive horizontal scrolling. This is sometimes an issue in articles with multiple images on both sides of the screen; although lower resolutions will tend to stretch paragraphs vertically, moving images apart in that direction, be careful not to add images or other floating content on both sides of the screen simultaneously. Large tables and images can also create problems; sometimes horizontal scrolling is unavoidable, but consider restructuring wide tables to extend vertically rather than horizontally. | UniWiki articles should be accessible to readers using devices with small screens, or to readers using monitors with a low resolution.
