  • Inverted pyramid
    • How to present your information, we have simplified it to be more accessible
  • Clarifications for abbreviations, styles of address for Dr., using personal names etc.

Comment: For the advice for acronyms, if it’s a long page, and there’s a table of contents, the user might be jumping past the section where the acronym is defined

  • There’s such thing as a “hovering acronym” tag, but this doesn’t meet WCAG requirements as well as doesn’t work well for mobile

General questions and comments

Q: Has anyone worked with posting redacted content? Are there any guidelines, such as terminology, to indicate how much has been redacted etc…?

A: (from RCMP) We use "[REDACTED]" with an explanation at the top, but with no studies to support that.

A: (from ISED and CSC) we've never indicated the "amount" of content - we simply use the word: [REDACTED]/[CAVIRDE]

Comment

CRA is working on a safety feature. This is for people who may be living in violent or potentially violent domestic situations. They are working on a button that would toggle the screen from information that users may want to keep private - to something innocuous such as google.

This could be presented at an upcoming GCWP. Reach out to Penny Day at CRA if you’re interested in this initiative.

Examples of where this has be done on other GoC sites:
