The {{W|Web Content Accessibility Guidelines}} ('''WCAG''') are part of a series of [[web accessibility]] guidelines published by the {{W|Web Accessibility Initiative}} (WAI) of the {{W|World Wide Web Consortium}} (W3C), the main international standards organization for the Internet. They are a set of guidelines that specify how to make content accessible, primarily for people with [[disabilities]]—but also for all user agents, including highly limited devices, such as mobile phones. The current version, WCAG 2.0, was published in December 2008 and became an [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] standard, ISO/IEC 40500:2012 in October 2012.
