[PR](https://github.com/django/django/pull/19688)

Issues:

- The links doesn’t indicate what they do (at least when looking at them) and are also not accessible when using screen readers.
- And as the number of links in the hierarchy increases the hierarchy becomes longer.

Solutions:

For the links as they don’t indicate what they do, so here are some suggestions:

1. Add a label to indicate what the links would do something like below, but we need to pick what is the exact wording and styling to put in the label. (suggested by @sarahboyce) in _django.contrib.admin.templates.admin.date\_hierarchy.html_

2. Add a new heading like this (suggested by @Antoliny0919)

3. Do we need a drop-down menu in the date hierarchy if the links are too many?

So, I need some feedback or suggestions on how we approach this.
