The '''[[Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Policy_text|Universal Code of Conduct''' (UCoC)]]''' aims to provideprovides a universalglobal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement without tolerance for harassment. The UCoC content, which includes the policy and allthe enforcement guidelines, was created in two phases, and work is currently being done to implement the UCoC policy and itsenforcement projectsguidelines.

== History ==
The UCoC is a key policy initiative from the [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia 2030|Wikimedia 2030]] community conversations and strategy process. The Strategy groups consulted Wikimedians from the global communities and put forth [[Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Recommendations/Recommendations|10 recommendations]] to guide the movement towards its 2030 vision. One of the recommendations, to “[[Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Recommendations/Provide for Safety and Inclusion|Provide for Safety and Inclusion]],” included drafting a Code of Conduct, the UCoC. The UCoC is being developed in consultation with communities from across the Wikimedia movement with respect to context, existing local policies, as well as enforcement and conflict resolution structures. Previous community discussions about the Universal Code of Conduct can be found [[Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Discussions|on this page]].

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) is a key initiative from the Wikimedia 2030 community conversations and strategy process. [[Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Provide for Safety and Inclusion|Providing for safety and inclusion]] within the communities and creating a [[Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition/Global Conversations/Report|code of conduct]] was rated the highest-priority initiative of the third Movement Strategy recommendation.
The UCoC consultation is being held in two phases. '''Phase 1''', from June to December 2020, involved research and conversations with communities on what a UCoC would look like. It resulted in the UCoC Policy, which is intended to apply to all activities in the Wikimedia movement. The Board of Trustees [[:wmf:Resolution:Approval of a Universal Code of Conduct|announced its approval of the UCoC Policy]] on 2 February 2021, though neither the global community nor individual communities have approved this Code of Conduct. '''Phase 2''' involves ongoing [[Universal Code of Conduct/Discussions|global conversations]] and proposal drafting on the implementation and application of the UCoC. It officially began in February 2021.

Between 2018 and 2020, the [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia 2030|Wikimedia 2030 strategy process]] invited volunteers to look at how to best guide the Wikimedia movement towards the future. Through working groups, online discussions, and in-person events around the world, [[Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Recommendations/Recommendations|10 recommendations]] and principles were published in May 2020. One of these recommendations was to “[[Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Recommendations/Provide for Safety and Inclusion|Provide for Safety and Inclusion]]”:

The UCoC provides a global baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement without tolerance for harassment. The UCoC was created through a collaborative process through two phases. Phase 1 included drafting the policy. Phase 2 included drafting enforcement guidelines. The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees ratified the policy on 2 February 2021, and the community voted on the enforcement guidelines in March of 2022. The first vote indicated community support for the guidelines, with several specific improvement areas identified through comments submitted in the process. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee (CAC) [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/JAYQN3NYKCHQHONMUONYTI6WRKZFQNSC/ requested] that a community-led [[Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee#Revisions Committee|revisions committee]] address some parts of the guidelines. This refinement process finished, and the second community led vote was held in January 2023. Based on the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines/Voting statistics|results]], the Board of Trustees [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Approval_of_Universal_Code_of_Conduct_Enforcement_Guidelines voted to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines] on 9 March 2023.
<blockquote>We will establish Movement-wide standards for an inclusive, welcoming, safe, and harassment-free environment. This will enable us to better attract and retain new and diverse volunteers and grow as a movement.</blockquote>

A key part of this recommendation was to create a Code of Conduct, the UCoC. It aims to provide a "universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement without tolerance for harassment". Wikimedia communities work in highly varied contexts, and no code of conduct will be able to cover every situation and issue. If the Terms of Service are updated to include it, participants and local projects will be asked to follow and build upon the baseline established by the UCoC.

As per the [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard/May 2020 - Board of Trustees on Healthy Community Culture, Inclusivity, and Safe Spaces|Board of Trustees’ statement]], there are two phases for the UCoC project. The first phase ("Phase 1") involved research, [[Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Initial 2020 Consultations|community and stakeholder dialogue]], as well as a staff-appointed [[Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee|joint volunteer-staff committee]] that drafted the [[Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Draft review|UCoC text proposal]]. The proposed text was submitted to the Board of Trustees for ratification on 13 October 2020. The Board [[:wmf:Resolution:Approval of a Universal Code of Conduct|announced the approved text]] on 2 February 2021.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The second phase ("Phase 2") of the project began on 2 February 2021, when the Board approved the draft UCoC text developed in Phase 1. The second phase of the project focuses on how to enforce the UCoC. As with the first phase, determining responsibilities and outlining clear enforcement pathways involves broad input from communities across the Wikimedia movement.
