I have added a link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct from the footer. We are probably covered by it anyway (Wikimedia Cloud being a technical space), it's certainly better than not having any code of conduct, and there is an ongoing process for a Universal Code of Conduct for the movement - once that comes into existence, it would make very little sense for us to pick a different code of conduct. So I suggest that people interested in debating what should and shouldn't be in the code of conduct should focus their energies on that discussion - currently it is happening at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Draft_review

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct in my view is the lowest common denominator not enough and certainly not optimum

Interesting. Apologies for probably going over old ground as a latecomer, but I had assumed that Wikispore was sufficiently proximate to Mediawiki that the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct] would have to apply?
In an exceptional situation, if someone complained to the Foundation about something that had happened in the Wikispore space, wouldn't they see it in their remit to take action? If that is so, shouldn't at least the "Unacceptable behaviour" provisions of the Mediawiki Code be explicitly bound in? (Though also taking Denny's point about the positives of that Berlin Code.)

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.
- Privacy policy
- Terms of use
- 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.
