Final Check

---

Final Check reviews your page for spelling, link, and accessibility errors. Before publishing, it will provide a list of errors that may need addressed. Using Final Check to correct any issues will ensure that pages on the WKU website are accessible and provide the best experience for any user.

Final Check Self-Help

 

Accessibility Check

While accessibility displays last in the list of Final Checks, it is the most important. In addition to our accessibility best practices, the Accessibility check scans the page for issues as defined by WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. It identifies four levels of problems:

• Critical Problems: Result in blocked content for people with disabilities, preventing them from accessing fundamental features or content.
• Serious Problems: May partially prevent people with disabilities from accessing fundamental features or content.
• Moderate Problems: Will not prevent people with disabilities from accessing fundamental features or content.
• Minor Problems: Considered to be annoyances for people with disabilities.

In the accessibility check results, each problem is listed with the location of the error in the source code, the name of the issue, an excerpt of the offending code, and a suggested repair. Visit the Knowledge Base Final Checks section for step by step instructions to fix common issues.

Spelling Check

The "Spell Check Results" box lists misspelled words on the page and how many times they occur. Spell check scans words in the editable page content, the source code, and image descriptions.

Please Note: Words may display correctly but be marked as misspelled due to code generated by the WYSIWYG editor in the word.

 

 

Link Check

The "Link Check Results" box shows every link on the page, whether it works or not. It lists the URL, the status of the link on both the staging and production servers, and a status code (if applicable).
