Do not output title attributes with wp_list_pages()

[bergius]

Standard output from wp_list_pages() is this:

<a href="/page/" title="Page">Page</a>

The title attribute is superfluous when it's exactly the same as the page title. Will be read like "Page – Page" with a screen reader.

Can't see any reason why Wordpress should output this.

Title attribute removed.

Thanks for providing a patch.

But please keep in mind, that nothing is fixed until any changes have been committed that resolve this issue for the reporting parties.

So please don't close a ticket only because a patch was provided. That's important that things will get really fixed then. Thanks!

Yeah, I'd tend to agree with this. Patch looks good for what it's designed to do.

Do not output title attributes in the page walker since they match the anchor and are thus superfluous. Props logiclord. fixes #16783
