#34621 closed Bug (fixed)

Django admin site name shouldn’t be an h1

Description

In the Django admin header, the site name ("Django administration" by default) is currently set up as an h1 tag. This is problematic for screen reader users because they use headings to navigate – having two h1 is confusing, and the one in the header isn’t particularly helpful since it’s the same on all pages.

It’d be better if this site name used a p or div tag. This switch will also require rewriting the styles so they still work with the new tag.

Fixed #34621 -- Made admin site header render in <div> tag.

This was problematic for screen reader users because they use headings
to navigate. Having two <h1> is confusing, and the one in the header
wasn’t particularly helpful since it’s the same on all pages.
