I am going by the text. The Credit Card Usage Policy and the Pluralism,
Internationalism, and Diversity Policy also carry that boilerplate, but they
very clearly do not apply to the projects. Indeed, the Code of Conduct
Policy specifically states that it not a policy for community members.
Still, I agree with you that an official statement would be welcome.

This would be a great thing for the foundation to
clarify. We should
probably go by the text and not by how the policy is linked to on a
template. It states *"This policy may **not be circumvented, eroded, or
ignored on local Wikimedia projects."*

I don't think the non discrimination policy should be construed to apply
to
the communities: the policy says that it applies
to the Wikimedia
Foundation
and makes no mention of the projects or volunteers. Note also that it is
listed under "Board and staff" on the navigation template (the policies
that
apply to the projects are listed above).
In any event, paraphilias are not legally protected characteristics.
