 == Description of the problem

 In the WordPress administration, in the list of all pages, a sighted
 person can identify subpages thanks to a long dash before the name of the
 subpage (example: {{{— A subpage of a page}}}). And so, you know that the
 above page is its parent.

 But, this is absolutely not accessible to blind people.

 The code of the link on the page name is that one: {{{<a class="row-title"
 href="https://example.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=554&action=edit"
 aria-label="“My beautiful subpage” (Edit)">— My beautiful subpage</a>}}}

 The {{{aria-label}}} attribute removes the long dash and doesn't replace
 it by the information it conveys.

 == What is expected

 - The link name should, at least, inform that a subpage is a subpage.
 - It would also ideally give the name of the parent page because you can
 see it quickly but a blind person must navigate until they find a link
 which is not indicated as a subpage.

 We could have: {{{<a class="row-title" href="https://example.org/wp-
 admin/post.php?post=554&action=edit" aria-label="“My beautiful
 subpage” (subpage of “Wonderful page”) (Edit)">— My beautiful
 subpage</a>}}}
