“The Universal Code of Conduct marks an important step in the evolution of our mission to create a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment for our contributors, and a more open and powerful movement for free knowledge”, MarĂa Sefidari, Chair of the Board administration of the Wikimedia Foundation, said in a press release.

More than 1,500 volunteers from around the world contributed to the development of the code of conduct, which is approximately 1,600 words long. The next step in the project is for the foundation and the volunteers to figure out how to implement and enforce the rules in the various Wikipedia projects.
