Hey, Can you elaborate what happened? if It's public of course. It's hard to understand the problem without proper context.
The edits are public, but I don't really want to be specific, as that would likely derail the discussion.
The pattern I'm seeing is: team gets a big project (in this case UCoC) -> team hires -> newbie makes good faith edits that are known to cause offense to some members of the community. This pattern can be broken only if the organization has a process to teach newcomers things that seem obvious to old timers ("don't go over community decisions if you can avoid it", "don't change content", "try to talk to people before doing a major change", "not everyone speaks English", "affiliates are not the community" etc.)
My question is: does the WMF has such a process?
Is it https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261133 ?

Hi,
It seems the WMF is going through another crisis of institutional memory, with the T&S team taking center stage. It's not really important what they did wrong, it's minor compared with other faux-pas they did in the past.
I was wondering though if the organization as a whole has learned anything from major crisis in the past and if there is a formal way of passing to newcomers information such as when and how to contact communities, what's the difference between a wiki, a community and an affiliate etc.?
