Ramonda

region-with-no-name

This fails the run. Where it is wrong about your code, // ramonda-check-ignore <reason> on the line says so, and the reason is printed on every run.

Reported when role="region" is written with no aria-label, aria-labelledby or title, so it is not a landmark at all.

region is the one landmark role the specification makes conditional on a name. Without one it is not put in the landmark list, so it is not announced and cannot be jumped to — the attribute does nothing at all, and the page looks exactly the same either way.

Name it:

<div role="region" aria-label="Search filters">…</div>

Where a visible heading already says what the section is, point at that instead and the two cannot drift apart:

<h2 id="filters-heading">Search filters</h2>
<div role="region" aria-labelledby="filters-heading">…</div>

Do not put the word "region" in the name — the kind is announced already, and aria-label="Filters region" is read out as "Filters region region".

If the section is not important enough to navigate to, it does not need the role. A plain <section> or <div> is the right element, and an unnamed <section> is not this report: it maps to a generic box by design rather than by mistake.
