Formatting of tables - please note that using <br /> or <hr /> tags in adjacent cells to emulate a visual row is not recommended. This is a problem for users of screen readers which read tables cell by cell, HTML row by HTML row, not visual row by visual row.
Here are some examples of what I mean, Bad Girls, and Glee which both use the <br /> formatting for the "Character" and "Actor" columns. Imagine being able to only listen to these articles and trying to figure out what character goes with what actor.
Do not use abbreviations to communicate important information, and use text alongside numbers, when it is unclear what the numbers represent, as seen in: RuPauls Drag Race Progress Table. This alternate table is accessible.
Some widely used and popular screen readerapps and browser extensions can not read flag icons (listen to audio examples), colors (example), symbols, content that is hidden under collapsible templates, and sometimes screenreaders can not interpret abbreviations or acronyms properly. When an abbreviation that is not widely used or recognized, please first introduce it using the full expression. Please avoid making upnew abbreviations that screen readers will not recognize (example). It's important to remember that not all our readers, visually impaired or otherwise, will be able to understand the abbreviations an editor has chosen to use. Flag icons should not be used in prose in the article body. This breaks up the continuity of the text, distracting the reader (example). When flag icons are added excessively, they clutter the page and become redundant. Pages with excessive flag icons can also cause loading problems for some people with slow internet connections and some mobile devices.
Please ensure that flag icons, abbreviations, colors in tables and symbols are not the only method used to communicate important information. Words as the primary means of communication should always be given greater precedence over flag icons, colors, abbreviations, acronyms and symbols.

Shortly thereafter, it was nominated for deletion a second time, despite a consensus to keep it in the first deletion discussion, just a few months prior. And yes, it met all the criteria for a stand-alone list. What changed, one might ask? I don't know, maybe an off-wiki discussion about the article elsewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Did you know that honey will last forever?[1] When excavating ancient Egyptian tombs, archeologists have found pots of honey amongst the tombs artifacts, thousands of years old, but yet still preserved.[1]
Did you know that there are ten episodes in The Astronauts, not nine as incorrectly stated in our article.[2]
