The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions Committee has completed their updates to the Enforcement Guidelines. The revised guidelines will be voted on in a community ratification process from January 17 through January 31, 2023.
The committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July 2022, and community review in September and October 2022, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022.
The revisions are focused on the following areas:
- To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
- To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
- To clarify the concept of affirmation of the UCoC
- To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
- To provide more detail on the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) and its Building Committee
- To clarify ambiguous phrases and terms
The Revisions Committee appreciates your time in reviewing and voting on this revised version.

The training will be set up in independent modules covering general information, identification of violations and support, and complex cases and appeals. After the first U4C is onboarded, it will be responsible for maintaining and updating the training modules as needed. |
Local communities and Wikimedia Affiliates who want to provide training at their community level will get financial support from the Wikimedia Foundation to implement training.
Participants who complete a module should have the option of having their completion publicly acknowledged. |
Training modules will be available in different formats and on different platforms for easy access.

This includes support for translations. We recommend participants who complete a module should have the option of having their completion publicly acknowledged. |

3.3.2 Transparency of processThe U4C, in line with its purpose and scope as defined in 4.1, shall provide documentation on the effectiveness of UCoC enforcement actions and their relation to common violations throughout the movement. Wikimedia projects and affiliates, when possible, shall maintain pages outlining policies and enforcement mechanisms in line with the UCoC policy text. |
3.3.3 AppealsAn action taken by an individual advanced rights holder Enforcement structures Appeals are not possible against certain decisions made by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department. |
3.3.3 AppealsAn action taken by an individual advanced rights holder will be appealable to a local or shared enforcement structure other than the U4C. Enforcement structures will set standards for accepting and considering appeals based on relevant contextual information and mitigating factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: verifiability of the accusations, the length and effect of the sanction, and whether there is a suspicion of abuse of power or other systemic issues, and the likelihood of further violations. Appeals are not possible against certain decisions made by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department. However, some Wikimedia Foundation office actions and decisions are reviewable by the Case Review Committee. The limitation, specifically on appeals from office actions and decisions, may not apply in some jurisdictions, if legal requirements differ. |
