{{KidsIntro|This page lists old rules from another organization that WikiDeal won't use. Some rules are only for their special tools. Some are only for their team and bosses. WikiDeal will make its own rules instead.}}
{{ExpertIntro|We are heading towards a selective policy migration where organization-specific governance structures and administrative procedures are deliberately excluded from WikiDeal's framework. This hypothesis proposes that WikiDeal's governance will emerge organically through soft transmission processes rather than importing incumbent institutional policies, particularly regarding internal staff, board operations, and domain-specific provisions with no cooperative-economy equivalent.}}


During the migration of the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki policies to WikiDeal, some source pages are proposed not to be copied to WikiDeal. This page lists those pages, with an explicit reason for each entry. This list is a proposal: final decisions belong to the steering committee. It currently covers the policies index (Policy:Main); it will be extended in later migration blocks (for example the Legal: documentation).

During the migration of the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki policies to WikiDeal, some source pages are proposed not to be copied to WikiDeal. This page lists those pages, with an explicit reason for each entry. This list is a proposal: final decisions belong to the steering committee. It covers the policies index (Policy:Main) and the Legal: documentation namespace (reviewed in July 2026).

These pages regulate the internal operations of the Wikimedia Foundation as an employer and as an organization with its own Board of Trustees and committees. For WikiDeal, the equivalent matters depend on the internal rules and governing bodies of the Ynternet.org Foundation; they could be included later.
These pages regulate the internal operations of the Wikimedia Foundation as an employer and as an organization with its own Board of Trustees and committees. They are the internal governance of another organization and are proposed not to be copied as such. The governance bodies of WikiDeal, and the policies that would regulate them, are intended to emerge through the [[Market/en/Portal:Soft-Transmission/Main|soft transmission]] process and the future steering committee: see [[Policies/en/Key-Questions|Key questions]], where the question of Board and staff policies remains open.

== Remaining pages: proposed for migration in later blocks ==
== Reclassified after review (July 2026) ==
 
The following pages were initially proposed for exclusion, then reclassified:
 
* Licensing policy: reclassified for migration, now migrated as a [[Policies/en/Licensing-Policy|licensing policy proposal]] covering the licensing of the contract templates of the marketplace, of the governance documents and of the wiki content, which is also published under a free license.
* Access to temporary account IP addresses: now an [[Policies/en/Access-to-Temporary-Account-IP-Addresses|under construction page]], reserved for a future adaptation.
* Modifying CheckUser logs guidelines: now an [[Policies/en/Modifying-CheckUser-Logs|under construction page]], reserved for a future adaptation.
* Visual identity guidelines: now an [[Policies/en/Visual-Identity-Guidelines|under construction page]]; the WikiDeal graphic charter is the subject of an [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Graphic-Charter|open call]].
* DMCA policy: a [[Policies/en/Copyright-Takedown-Policy|first draft of an adaptation to Swiss law]] has been created; it must be reviewed and improved.

== Legal: documentation of the source wiki (reviewed July 2026) ==
 
The source wiki has a Legal: namespace with several hundred pages. The following pages were adapted and migrated: the [[Policies/en/Data-Collection-Guidelines|data collection guidelines]], the [[Policies/en/Data-Retention-Guidelines|data retention guidelines]], the [[Policies/en/Data-Publication-Guidelines|data publication guidelines]], the [[Policies/en/Confidentiality-Agreement-for-Nonpublic-Information|confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information]], plus the two under construction pages already listed above ([[Policies/en/Modifying-CheckUser-Logs|modifying CheckUser logs]] and [[Policies/en/Visual-Identity-Guidelines|visual identity guidelines]]). The rest of the namespace is proposed for non-migration:
 
* Survey and research privacy statements (several hundred pages): records of individual surveys of the source organization. WikiDeal surveys would carry their own privacy statements, as proposed by the [[Policies/en/Data-Collection-Guidelines|data collection guidelines]].
* DMCA takedown records: archive of individual takedown notices under United States law; case records of the source organization. WikiDeal has its own [[Policies/en/Copyright-Takedown-Policy|draft policy adapted to Swiss law]].
* Amicus briefs and litigation documents: filings in United States court cases of the source organization.
* Bylaws: internal statutes of the source organization; the Ynternet.org Foundation has its own statutes under Swiss law.
* Conflict of interest guidelines and questionnaire, applicant privacy policy: internal administrative and staff pages, same reason as the internal policies section above.
* 3D file patent license: specific to the 3D file hosting of the source platform, no WikiDeal equivalent.
* Country and territory protection list: an operational list of countries potentially dangerous for internet freedom, maintained by the source organization for its own context. The [[Policies/en/Data-Publication-Guidelines|data publication guidelines]] propose that an equivalent list would be established for WikiDeal.
* European Union Digital Services Act compliance pages: compliance records tied to the source organization's obligations as a very large online platform under EU law; not yet current for WikiDeal, could become relevant later.
* Legal and safety contact information: staff contact page of the source organization; the official WikiDeal contact is info@wikideal.net.
* Legal fees assistance program and community health legal defense program: support programs of the source organization; not yet current for WikiDeal, could be considered later.
* Terms of use machine readability and interaction: tied to the source Terms of Use; could be considered as a technical improvement of the [[Policies/en/Terms-of-Use|WikiDeal Terms of Use]] proposal.
* Misdirected requests to movement organizations: instructions specific to the source organization's network of chapters and affiliates; could be adapted later, when WikiDeal user groups and partner organizations exist.
* Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license: a reference copy of the license text, available at creativecommons.org; a local copy is not needed.
 
== Review complete ==
 
The review of the source policies index (Policy:Main) and of the Legal: documentation namespace is complete: no page remains pending. Every page of the source index has either been adapted and migrated to WikiDeal, or listed above with an explicit reason for its exclusion. The exclusions remain proposals: final decisions belong to the steering committee.
 
The last four pages were migrated in July 2026: the [[Policies/en/Donor-Privacy-Policy|Donor privacy policy]], the [[Policies/en/Non-Wiki-Privacy-Policy|Non-wiki privacy policy]], the [[Policies/en/Office-Actions-Policy|Office actions policy]] with its [[Policies/en/Office-Actions-Policy/Procedures|procedures]], and the [[Policies/en/Requests-for-User-Information|Requests for user information procedures and guidelines]] (first adaptation to Swiss law).


The other pages of the policies index are not listed above: they remain candidates for adaptation and migration to WikiDeal in later blocks. They include, among others: the Privacy policy, the Terms of use, the Cookie statement, the General disclaimer, the Human rights policy, the policy on Combating online child exploitation, the Commercial sales and contracts policy, the API usage guidelines, the Code of conduct for technical spaces, the Data collection, Data publication and Data retention guidelines, the DMCA policy, the Donor privacy policy, the Office actions policy and its procedures, the Requests for user information procedures and guidelines, the Terrorist and violent extremist content procedures and guidelines, the Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines, the Underage exemptions, the policy on Use of the sites for advocacy purposes, the Feedback privacy statement, the Friendly space policy, the Legal documentation and the Resolutions.
Already migrated in previous or current blocks: the [[Policies/en/Privacy-Policy|Privacy policy]] (first draft), the [[Policies/en/Licensing-Policy|Licensing policy]], the [[Policies/en/Friendly-Space-Policy|Friendly space policy]] (verified at the source: not marked as superseded by the Universal Code of Conduct; it complements it for events), the [[Policies/en/Universal-Code-of-Conduct/Enforcement-Guidelines|Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines]], the [[Policies/en/Access-to-Nonpublic-Personal-Data/Underage-Exemptions|Underage exemptions]] and [[Policies/en/Access-to-Nonpublic-Personal-Data/Exceptions|Exceptions]], the data guidelines listed in the Legal: section above, the [[Policies/en/Resolutions|Resolutions]], and, since July 2026: the [[Policies/en/Terms-of-Use|Terms of Use]], the [[Policies/en/Cookie-Statement|Cookie statement]], the [[Policies/en/General-Disclaimer|General disclaimer]], the [[Policies/en/Human-Rights-Policy|Human rights policy]], the policy on [[Policies/en/Combating-Online-Child-Exploitation|Combating online child exploitation]], the [[Policies/en/Commercial-Sales-and-Contracts|Commercial sales and contracts]] policy, the [[Policies/en/API-Usage-Guidelines|API usage guidelines]], the [[Policies/en/Code-of-Conduct-for-Technical-Spaces|Code of conduct for technical spaces]] (source: MediaWiki.org), the [[Policies/en/Terrorist-and-Violent-Extremist-Content|Terrorist and violent extremist content procedures and guidelines]], the policy on [[Policies/en/Use-of-the-Platform-for-Advocacy|Use of the Platform for advocacy purposes]], and the [[Policies/en/Feedback-Privacy-Statement|Feedback privacy statement]].
