Description (last modified by Thibaud Colas)

Related: #34832. Currently the Django admin’s main content area is coded as <div class="main shifted" id="main"></div>. For screen reader users, it would be helpful to switch to a <main> tag or add role="main". They would be able to navigate straight to this area when going through the page by landmark.

Usage of the correct HTML main tag is ideal, but might prove problematic if CSS was written with overly specific HTML elements. We can get the same benefits for screen reader users with role="main".
