The Foundation is developing a Universal Code of Conduct for Wikimedians to foster ethical behavior, goodwill, and harmony in the community. Although the Wikimedia projects are driven by underlying principles of collaboration, compassion and diversity, currently, every project and community has its own set of policies and guidelines. While it is important to have different content policies depending on the specific requirements of projects, it is essential to think of universal behavioral guidelines that would create an environment of mutual trust and respect within the community. The Wikimania Universal Code of Conduct Workshop is a platform for the community members to come together and brainstorm on what the universal behavioral guidelines for the community should look like. It is an opportunity for all of us to collectively think and design the roadmap for stronger health and wellbeing of our own community.
