Re: WebAIM: Redundant link alert in Wave

The Redundant Link item in WAVE identifies two adjacent links that go to the same URL. It is an Alert, not an Error, so may not have notable end user impact. The Alert prompts additional testing and consideration. In most cases the links can be combined into one link, or one of them can be removed. In the example of one link in the header and another link to the same place in navigation, this may be appropriate. If so, the Alert can be ignored.

This is very unfortunate. Use of WAVE in legal actions is a violation of our terms of use. We will notify any lawyers of this if/when we are apprised that they are inappropriately using WAVE in these ways.

Thanks,
