This page has been created to support editors who have accessibility problems with Wikipedia, up to and including potentially facing disciplinary measures. It can often be that individual editors, through no fault of their own but rather as a result of certain conditions they may have, will have difficulties of one sort or another editing Wikipedia.

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

The list below consists of editors who have agreed to assist editors facing such situations.

Editors who are on this list and who use userboxes might like to add {{User accessibility advocate}} to their user page. This adds the user to the Category:Wikipedian accessibility advocates and also creates the following userbox:

This user is an advocate for editors with accessibility issues

A note about confidentiality: Information divulged to an advocate via e-mail will be treated as confidential unless expressed permission is given to share it. An advocate may request to share information in cases where (s)he believes it could be of significant help, such as to the mediation committee. The only time confidential information might be shared without permission is if a user expresses an intention to harm another user in real life, which hopefully will never happen!
Information divulged over talk pages is publicly accessible, and thus we cannot guarantee that it will be kept confidential.
