The 'Skip to contents of guide' link text, which appears on focus just before the 'Contents' heading, has been updated to 'Skip contents'. This change addresses confusion among screen reader users, who mistook the link's destination to be the 'Content's section rather than the man document content.
Why
It failed an accessibility audit Structure and Purpose usability issue. Changes to the content of the link aims to make it more clearer for screen reader users.
Note: we are not updating other translation locales at this time, therefore the values of the skip_contents have been removed.
We're currently also waiting for the Welsh translation for skip_contents which will be updated once confirmed.
