Hi all,
the Wikimedia technical community has recently adopted a Code of Conduct. You have probably heard more about it than you wanted to, but if you have missed it somehow, you can read the related blog post [1].
We started adding a CODE_OF_CONDUCT file with a link to all repos (this is a new convention for declaring what a project's code of conduct is, promoted by Github), which resulted in a debate about whether that is the right thing to do. If you are interested, please join the discussion on the Phabricator task [2].

No, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md was added, which is a completely different file in our universe as our standard is extension-less files for these types of things, The only exemption that jumps to mind in core is Readme.mediawiki which renders in github.
How is this a new convention? This is a GitHub only format for what I have seen and I have not seen any other service implement such a standard (or discussions towards this) which displays a link in their interface, which we don't even use (or encourage) for development?
