If we disregard these pages: * https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Code_of_conduct_policy * https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use * https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy And the many others listed at these places: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Code_of_conduct * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Draft#See_also And if we disregard any application of common sense, then yes, you could argue that a technical code of conduct is needed. When you consider the actual context, however, it becomes pretty clear that this is unnecessary bureaucracy. The repeated concerns about outsized influence by Wikimedia Foundation employees have largely gone ignored.

If we discount discussions like "Finalize introduction to "Committee" section?" on the talk page, I suppose: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct/Draft>. It's plain to see in discussions like this that every support vote came from Wikimedia Foundation employees or employees of another Wikimedia affiliate (WMDE and WMFR). The opposing votes came from volunteers, but three of the four were struck as being too late.
