Description Marcin Cieślak 2013-09-08 20:58:03 UTC
When watching a typical Wikipedia page using a text browser (w3m in my case), I am getting:

Navigation menu

Personal tools

  • Saper
  • 1
  • Talk
  • Preferences
  • Watchlist
  • Contributions
  • Log out

Namespaces

  • Project page
  • Discussion

Variants 

..

I would say things are more or less clear and readable except this magic digit "one" in the second line.

It should be something along the lines:

* There is 1 unread message (or "notification available" or ...)

This is probably also a problem in some screen reader/ browser combinations (not all read the title attributes).
