Can there be alt-texts to icons?
Can you add hover texts (alt-texts) to icons? It is not always obvious what each of them mean just by looking at them. Sometimes it is clear from the url it points to, but for accessibility reasons alone it would be good to have alt-texts as a standard.

This is a the place for submitting and tracking area for forum bugs, feature requests and other UNIX and Linux forum site issues for all users. Please submit problems with the site here.
Regarding alt-text, we will consider this on a case-by-case basis if you are very specific about the exact icon you would like to see alt-text, you can post the page, the icon and the alt-text you would like to see.

However, we are not going to do a blanket "alt-txt" for every icon in the entire site, as the site has been up and running for over a decade (maybe closer to two decades) and users don't have a problem using the site.

As mentioned, if you post the exact page in the feature request area of the site, the icon and the alt-txt you are interested in seeing, we will consider this on a case by case basis.
