If the navigation area begins with a heading, use the heading to label the navigation element using the `aria-labelledby` attribute. If there is no heading, then you may set `aria-label`. Make sure to format the text the same way you would visual text (Related: [aria-label is well formatted](./aria-label-is-well-formatted.md)).

### Be wary of inappropriate navigation landmarks ⚠️

This rule will flag all navigation landmarks that don't have an accessible name. However, in some instances, a navigation landmark may be inappropriately used. While addressing this rule, please assess whether or not the instance you're looking at _should_ be a navigation landmark, and follow-up accordingly.

### Don't include "navigation" in the name ⚠️

The accessible name for a navigation landmark should NOT include "navigation" because that would add redundancy and verbosity, since screen readers will already announce the navigation landmark.
