On Polish Wikipedia there is a page collecting all rules, which admins
should follow:

http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sprawy_administracyjne

I think that forcing new customs or rules which comes from the "top"
might create a natural opposision. I think the best place to put such
a general "good customs" translations would be rather meta. Then it
might be a good starting point how to slowly apply it to the all
projects after duscussion within project's communities which should
individally decide how to "customize" them to the nature and current
rules of their projects.
