In line with the Wikimedia mission, all who participate in Wikimedia projects and spaces will:

* help create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge

* be part of a global community that will avoid bias and prejudice, and

* strive towards accuracy and verifiability in all its work.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

This Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) defines a minimum set of guidelines of expected and unacceptable behaviour. It applies to everyone who interacts and contributes to online and offline Wikimedia projects and spaces. This includes new and experienced contributors, functionaries within the projects, event organizers and participants, employees and board members of affiliates and employees and board members of the Wikimedia Foundation. It applies to all Wikimedia projects, technical spaces, in-person and virtual events, as well as the following instances:

== 1 – Introduction ==

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

The Universal Code of Conduct provides a baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide. Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context, while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard.

== 2 – Expected behaviour ==

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

Every Wikimedian, whether they are a new or experienced editor, a community functionary, an affiliate or Wikimedia Foundation board member or employee, is responsible for their own behaviour.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

In all Wikimedia projects, spaces and events, behaviour will be founded in respect, civility, collegiality, solidarity and good citizenship. This applies to all contributors and participants in their interaction with all contributors and participants, without expectations based on age, mental or physical disabilities, physical appearance, national, religious, ethnic and cultural background, caste, social class, language fluency, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex or career field. Nor will we make exceptions based on standing, skills or accomplishments in the Wikimedia projects or movement.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

=== 2.1 – Mutual respect ===

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

We expect all Wikimedians to show respect for others. In communicating with people, whether in online or offline Wikimedia environments, we will treat each other with mutual respect.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

This includes but is not limited to:

</div>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Practice empathy.''' Listen and try to understand what Wikimedians of different backgrounds want to tell you. Be ready to challenge and adapt your own understanding, expectations and behaviour as a Wikimedian.</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Assume good faith, and engage in constructive edits;''' your contributions should improve the quality of the project or work. Provide and receive feedback kindly and in good faith. Criticism should be delivered in a sensitive and constructive manner. All Wikimedians should assume unless evidence otherwise exists that others are here to collaboratively improve the projects, but this should not be used to justify statements with a harmful impact.</span>

** People may have names that use letters, sounds, or words from their language which may be unfamiliar to you;ewe e eee e

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Looking out for fellow contributors:''' Lend them a hand when they need support, and speak up for them when they are treated in a way that falls short of expected behaviour as per the Universal Code of Conduct.</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Recognize and credit the work done by contributors:''' Thank them for their help and work. Appreciate their efforts and give credit where it is due.</span>

== 3 – Unacceptable behaviour ==

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

The Universal Code of Conduct aims to help community members identify situations of bad behaviour. The following behaviours are considered unacceptable within the Wikimedia movement:

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

=== 3.1 – Harassment ===

</div>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Insults:''' This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, sex, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics. In some cases, repeated mockery, sarcasm, or aggression constitute insults collectively, even if individual statements would not. (Note: The Wikimedia movement does not endorse "race" and "ethnicity" as meaningful distinctions among people. Their inclusion here is to mark that they are prohibited in use against others as the basis for personal attacks.)</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Sexual harassment:''' Sexual attention or advances of any kind towards others where the person knows or reasonably should know that the attention is unwelcome or in situations where consent cannot be communicated.</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Threats:''' Explicitly or implicitly suggesting the possibility of physical violence, unfair embarrassment, unfair and unjustified reputational harm, or intimidation by suggesting gratuitous legal action to win an argument or force someone to behave the way you want.</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Hounding:''' following a person across the project(s) and repeatedly critiquing their work mainly with the intent to upset or discourage them. If problems are continuing after efforts to communicate and educate, communities may need to address them through established community processes.</span>

* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Trolling:''' Deliberately disrupting conversations or posting in bad-faith to intentionally provoke.</span>
