  Thanks for your feedback, MarĂ­a! Hang and I are checking in later today to go 
through feedback in person. Please note that I am the one who created the 
workflow graphic 
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Data_and_Media_Partnerships_Workflow_v2.svg>
 last year - that image is not Hang's work! That said, guidelines on how to 
create and improve such graphics in the future are very welcome.
  
  Thoughts on next steps
  ======================
  
  While writing first bits of (dispersed) documentation, for instance in the 
This Month in GLAM (example 
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/April_2019/Contents/Structured_Data_on_Wikimedia_Commons_report>),
 I have discovered that, in addition to the designs you created up till now, we 
may need template-based solutions and procedures for the following:
  
  Menus for, and navigation inside, longer pieces of documentation
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  I think a lot of the documentation will consist of multiple steps, or will in 
general benefit from being cut into smaller chunks. Some readers will want to 
skip some of these steps because they are not relevant to their use case or 
they already know how to do that specific thing. So I think it may be good to 
have
  
  - A system/template to create a 'menu' (similar to the tab system used by 
many WikiProjects on Wikidata, for instance)
  - A system/template for pagination (when documentation has e.g. dozens of 
consecutive subpages)
  - A system/template for skipping to a previous/next bit of documentation
  
  Integration of screenshots, gifs, explanatory videos
  ----------------------------------------------------
  
  The documentation will likely include many screenshots and short explanation 
videos. Perhaps also animated gifs - I welcome your opinion on experiments like 
this one 
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adding_multilingual_captions_to_a_file_on_Wikimedia_Commons_-_animated.gif>
 (you can also see it in use in this story in This Month in GLAM newsletter 
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/May_2019/Contents/Structured_Data_on_Wikimedia_Commons_report>).
  It would be nice to have guidelines and/or templates to integrate these into 
documentation as elegantly as possible. I can imagine they can be put in the 
callout boxes you've already designed, but maybe they can benefit from their 
own place/design (bordered? width? alignment?).
  
  Curious what you think, and if these additional design frameworks would fit 
into your upcoming planning.
