This page contains the description "WCAG 2.0" in the "Intent" section. Because the 2.0 is outdated currently, shouldn't it be "WCAG 2" instead?

The objective of this guideline is to ensure that content that is marked as conforming to WCAG 2.0 avoids the types of flash that are most likely to cause seizure when viewed even for a second or two.

Kind regards,

I think we held off updating every mention of 2.0 in #3588 because of the mention in https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#background-on-wcag-2

Where this document refers to WCAG 2 it is intended to mean any and all versions of WCAG that start with 2.

Happy to reconsider though - there are quite a few other mentions of 2.0 in various understanding docs beyond that one.

Isn't that a reason to change it to "WCAG 2" rather than specifically refer to an outdated version?

this may have also been a time when understanding and techniques weren't version-specific, as in the same docs were shared between different WCAG 2.x versions. i believe now these are actually separated properly, so we could...

I suspect that Understanding for Guidelines (as opposed to Success Criteria) have fallen through the cracks.

When someone volunteers for this, please also delete:
