Today I learned +

Pictures on ENWorld can be given alt-text.

If you are editing a post with a picture, click on the picture and a tool box will appear. Click on the "i" (the third icon moving from left to right), and it will let you add the alt text. (Getting back to edit it once you have put it in is awkward on my browser though... clicking on the "i" again jumps to the bottom of the page.)

An image full of text explaining how  alt text provides context for humans.  It helps people with low or impaired vision impaired and those with different learning abilities interact with content.  It enables screen readers to read information about on-page images. And it can provide context when images are unable to load due to connectivity issues or device settings.
