Saying "WTF" is by default acceptable for all projects unless the WMF board agrees a resolution and enforces it on its own board members, as well as volunteers and WMF employees.

Just in case readers here missed the precedent set in 2016, Wales has never retracted nor apologised for writing on the English Wikipedia that a statement by Heilman was "utter fucking bullshit". Both parties were Wikimedia Foundation board members at the time, and are board members now.[1][2] Links 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=701673700&oldid=701673178 2. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/8q8gvg/wikipedias-secret-google-competitor-search-engine-is-tearing-it-apart Fae On Wed, 8 Aug 2018 at 14:45, Michel Vuijlsteke <wikipe...@zog.org> wrote: > > No, this was for saying "WTF". > > On 8 August 2018 at 15:16, kevin zhang <msuzhang...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > So let me just clarify, so despite a few weeks ago the decision was > > effectively "we highly encourage but won't require", now it's if you do not > > include the coc then we will ban you from phabricator? > > > > Just want to make sure I understand the current stance... > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- fae...@gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
