Global 'Missing Alt Text' Wikipedia Image Decay
This page tracks how many images on Wikipedia are missing alt text, the percentage of images affected, and how the count changes each day. The data comes from regular scans of Wikipedia’s image database, checking which files have no accessibility description. It shows whether Wikipedia is becoming more or less accessible over time, highlighting gaps in compliance with its own standards. No other public source systematically monitors this decay across all images.
