I have checked with a few people, and here are some concerns regarding Wikispore, which, I am sure, can be easily resolved. I am happy to help with the first three if I sense consensus on these topics.

1) Privacy policy
2) Terms of use
3) Code of Conduct

Thank you Denny for bringing this up! Much appreciated and important now.

I am sure we'll easily agree on the first two, just taking the respective policies from the other WMF Wikis and link them accordingly.

Regarding 3), mediawiki.org has a CoC, meta does not, and I would really like us to start Spores per default with a CoC. What are your thoughts?

Though I think being explicit about #Unacceptable_behavior
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct#Unacceptable_behavior

I find it super-important to have consensus also on #3-expected-behavior !

My preferences here are with https://BerlinCodeOfConduct.org/

that originated from https://pdxruby.org/CONDUCT#3-expected-behavior

Personally I find most of the older projects often unsupportive

and even made toxic for newbies to join due to 'legal' bot-like behavior

or passive agressive of older (highly patronizing and teritorial) admins...

...as the project matures this should be monitored for and suppressed,

but ideally also discouraged from the start by Expected_Behavior policy.
