Description
MDN URL
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Reference/Roles/tooltip_role
What specific section or headline is this issue about?
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
The article referenced a common pattern of using the "more info" icon ⓘ to display tooltips. It mentioned what to avoid, but did not mention what to do instead. The framing make it sounds like maybe this common pattern should not be used at all.
What did you expect to see?
Better clarity on how to make this common pattern ARIA accessible and an example below. Or outright declare it's not a pattern to be followed going forward.
Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
No response
Do you have anything more you want to share?
