Description

MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/spinbutton_role

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

ARIA range widget options

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

This section compares four ARIA range roles: progressbar, meter, slider, and spinbutton. Then it explains that the spinbutton role is the only read-write range. However it describes the slider is also read-write range, in the description of slider itself.

What did you expect to see?

A consistent description. For example, removing descriptions about "the only read-write range".

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
