  Yes, I figured it was your creation, Sandra =)

 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:

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

good to have

  We have some really good navigation templates that we developed for the 
Wikimedia Resource Center. Consider reviewing:
  
  - Template:Portal navigation 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Portal_navigation>
  - Template:Stackable card 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Stackable_card>
  
  before developing anything new. 
  These templates work really well on mobile, are versatile and you can add 
your own formatting, too! If you'd like to improve them in any way, that is 
also welcome. The module to edit the template is here 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Portal_navigation>.

 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?).
  
  This ^^ we don't currently have, and it would be good to develop resources 
for this need. I think @hdothiduc was doing a good job in this area with the 
callout boxes.

into your upcoming planning.
