The formal code of conduct — like many Wikimedia projects — was a crowdsourced project, with over 1,500 volunteers from around the world contributing. It’s intentionally designed to be relatively short and easily comprehensible to users, measuring in at a brisk 1,600 words.
Broadly speaking, the new code of conduct is broken down into two categories: positive behavior that’s expected from users, editors, and Wikimedia employees, and unacceptable behavior that the company looks to discourage.
Expected behavior includes having mutual respect for others, engaging in constructive editing, and respecting things like personal pronouns for other contributors. The code of conduct also encourages users to help support each other on projects and to mentor new editors.
