Thanks for sharing this, Chris. The Cooper-Hewitt is definitely leading by example. I
also like that they have published their list of people/institutions in their collections
database who don't have Wikipedia articles:
https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/people/not-from/wikipedia/. While not every entity on
this list is automatically notable, it is an interesting starting place for
design-oriented Wikimedians who may be looking to create some new articles.
Providing a ready-made citation template on collections pages is a great way for GLAMs to
be Wikipedia-friendly, and is not that technically daunting to develop. I have
definitely put it on my to-do list!
