Thank you, but not obligatory a list. I meant any form, even a number of rules written on this mailing list. Otherwise we (may) have a situation when, for instance, a user puts some inflammatory or divisive content on their user page and administrators are unable to delete it, until a policy which regulates this is adopted locally. NPOV and Wikimedia Founding principles regulate only "articles and other encyclopedic content" and can't be applied in this case. Or even further, community could adopt a policy when divisive content is allowed on user pages. NPOV is not violated, Founding principles are not violated as well. So everything depends only on a local community. I don't think this is a common thing, but maybe it worth thinking about this now rather when we face this problem.
