Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Archive/Rules for internal Wikimedia projects
Rules for internal Wikimedia projects
Proposes social/community change rather than a technical feature
- Problem: Harrasment, defamation and lies of users in internal or non offical Wikimedia projects/groups (e.g. Phabricator, Meta) make contributing impossible to some users. The problem is, these groups does not have conflict solving processes, like Wikipedia and attackers, may freely live, within these communities.
- Who would benefit: Wikimedia Projects, inidividual contributors
- Proposed solution: Establish transparent decission making process and adopt Wikipedia like proceduress like Arbitration Comittees, within the groups, which doesnt have them yet.

Community discussion[edit]
I'm afraid this is out of scope for this survey as the survey is about community's technical needs while your proposal is about policies. Do you have any technical asks? Max Semenik (talk) 21:07, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
@Juandev: Just this year, Wikimedia's Code of Conduct for technical spaces went into effect. It is a new policy and committee designed to resolve exactly the problems you are mentioning on Meta, Phabricator, IRC, and other technical spaces. Are there any tools or features that need to be built for this to work? I'm going to archive your proposal, but please open a new one if you have ideas for tools or features for us to build. — Trevor Bolliger, WMF Product Manager 🗨 21:24, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
