…screenshots make sense because it would probably be hard to create easy to grasp abstractified versions of it. So we should try to create instructive, small screenshots.

@Jan_Dittrich and @Tobi_WMDE_SW were creating some screenshots and @Jan_Dittrich polished them up, so here's the result:

Design details
I [Jan] assumed the design to be hard to abstract. So I opted for edited screenshots. Some elements (mostly text) are blurred to be less distracting and to highlight the symbolic nature of the screenshot (in contrast to documenting a specific edit conflict). I also choose a crop of the image to be as small and focused on its essential qualities as possible.
