We decided to use separate issues for each phase of writing/editing.

Hi! Are you still working on this? Hopefully yes -- if not, please comment here and let us know we need to find someone else. And if you are, do you know when you might finish writing this topic?

By the way... there have been quite a few updates to our processes since the sprint where you took this on. For one thing, we have a more concise guide to contributing (with links to specific instructions) on the project page:
https://www.drupal.org/project/user_guide

Also, the templates and some guidelines have changed, especially in the area of screen shots and images.

And we've finally made a complete outline for the guide! See
https://userguide-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/d8guide/en/index.html
to find your topic, along with its new template. We also put more notes about what each topic should cover in the tracking spreadsheet; see
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ov0FyJhKrJe7PYvohzV5UrrLyRaVCy2A...
for that.

Thanks!

yrvyn, are you still working on this, or can I tag it for the documentation sprint in Barcelona so that somebody else can work on it?

This looks great to me, thanks!

A few thoughts:

a) Since it's the only topic that covers enabling a module, I think we probably need to have at least one screen shot?

b) The last step about configuration probably belongs as a follow-up (well, actually there are lots of follow-ups already so I think it's covered).

c) I think we should have language-add be the first follow-on task. You cannot do any configuration or translation without having two languages enabled on the site.

d) I think understanding-modules maybe is a prerequisite rather than a "related" afterthought?

Anyway this is very close. Thanks!

Excellent! Added to the guide. Thanks!

I did add one index entry for Modules,enabling since this is the only topic that covers that. And I noticed [[language-enable]] got dropped from the top, so I put that back in.
