Create diagrams that outline users' workflows on (structured) Wikimedia Commons

Description

The SDC General team investigates the typical workflows of contributors to Wikimedia Commons; these workflows will change when structured metadata is introduced to Commons.

Workflows of Commons contributions by GLAMs and other external partners are outlined in various tabs of a Google spreadsheet (work in progress):

We have also researched elements of these workflows:

Based on this knowledge, we can create more accessible (visual and textual) diagrams to clarify these workflows.

Target audiences:

  • Designers; internal and external (volunteer and professional) developers who want to understand typical Commons workflows and who want to design/develop for it.
  • Community members and people related to Wikimedia movement affiliates who want to understand Commons better, and/or want to clarify it to others, or teach about it.
  • Movement partners who want to understand the workflow processes on Wikimedia Commons in order to inform their own contributions to the project

A first (simplified) version of such a workflow diagram has been discussed during a session at Learning Days before the Wikimedia Conference 2018.

During the presentation I noticed some gaps; and in following conversations, I have already received some valuable feedback:

  • The workflow does not include the 'social' negotiations that take place before a GLAM collaboration kicks off; while these are different from the on-wiki work, these do take quite a bit of skills and background knowledge.
  • The workflow should include information on how, in each step, it is important to highlight how collaboration with the Commons/Wikidata communities works - GLAM contributions to our projects are essentially also very social and community-oriented
  • The workflow needs to include a step on 'checking what is already present on Wikidata/Commons related to the contribution you're planning to do'.
