Such a directive for WMF people would be easy to make, easy to implement,
easy to enforce, and would demonstrate that the Wikimedia Foundation itself
is at the forefront, and setting an example for other organisations and
leading by example.
Easy to enforce? By whom? The foundation? Tracking all edits by foundation
staff is not a good use of foundation time. Admins? We have better things
to do with our time. The wider community? Not many have much awareness of
that level of meta policy.
You are trying to write and drama generator but not one people have time
for.
