(Sorry, for me Polish is more than Greek ...) Good organized page! I
think most of major projects have a similar one, mainly for the sysops
and candidates. "Admin norm" is not only helpful for them, but also
for the entire community, and also avoiding misunderstanding - what
sysops are not.

Sorry for confusion, I intended that we have such on meta, just as
references. It will be helpful in some cases, in some cases, not. What
are good customs is somehow different from culture to culture.

Agreed. I expect no one is happy to be forced what they should follow
completely. Though we have some must (NPOV, licence etc), but custom
and behavior are highly expected to reflect the community value. Each
community are better running as autonomous a/o self-determinative as
possible, or at least when they think so,  in my observation.
