I agree, alt text and caption have both so different purpose they can't be interchanged. I am not familiar with screen readers, nor I'm a professional, but I can imagine how it works: `[[File:GPMonaco2018-17.jpg|Monaco GP|alt = Monaco GP]]` //Follows an image depicting ... Monaco GP 2018 ... with a title ... Monaco GP 2018.// vs. `[[File:GPMonaco2018-13.jpg|Monaco GP 2018|alt = Daniel Ricciardo crossing the finish line in his Aston Martin formula car followed by two other cars driven by Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton]]` //Follows an image depicting ... Daniel Ricciardo crossing the finish line in his Aston Martin formula car followed by two other cars driven by Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton ... with a title ... Monaco GP 2018.// (example translated from my home wiki article //Formula One// and little bit changed to be a good example of good v bad practise) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213585 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Dvorapa Cc: Dvorapa, RexxS, Pigsonthewing, ChristianFerrer, Abbe98, Aklapper, alaa_wmde, Nandana, JKSTNK, Lahi, PDrouin-WMF, Gq86, E1presidente, Ramsey-WMF, Cparle, Anooprao, SandraF_WMF, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, Orienteerix, Tramullas, Acer, LawExplorer, Flycatchr, EHCliffe, Zppix, Silverfish, _jensen, rosalieper, Susannaanas, Volker_E, Jane023, Wikidata-bugs, Base, matthiasmullie, aude, Dinoguy1000, Ricordisamoa, Wesalius, Lydia_Pintscher, Fabrice_Florin, Raymond, Steinsplitter, Mbch331, Jay8g
