https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Policies#Policies lists policies of
the
Wikimedia Foundation.
Would it make sense to sub-divide these policies into sub-lists? It seems
very strange to place all of these policies next to each other in a single
list.
I thought about splitting between "Board-approved" and "Otherwise."
Then I
considered splitting between "Staff-related", "Contributor-related,"
"Meetings-related," etc., but I wasn't so sure how many of these policies
actually (allegedly) apply to contributors (e.g., the whistleblower
policy).
Any thoughts on this?
It should be easy to divide board-approved policies from legal-approved
policies and other policies (which are usually "self-policies", and are
sometimes on Meta only).

It would be, though I'm not sure that's the most useful division --
I'd imagine what most people want to know is what policies apply to
all of the global projects vs what policies apply to just the WMF vs
what policies might apply to the WMF & other wikimedia entities
(chapters and groups). It is difficult to figure out what the global
project policies are, and that is a question that comes up pretty
regularly.
I don't have much spare time right this minute to do it, but I can
lend a hand with this; having legal involved would also be helpful.
