No comment as to whether this should or should not have become policy in some form but I just wanted to clarify that m Don t be a dick is not and never has been an official or semi official policy It would more accurately be described as an essay The Wikipedia page WP DICK is now a soft redirect the meta page but prior to that there was a contentious debate as to whether or not the page should be deleted as evidenced in the page history That said welcome to Wikipedia and I too hope you will continue to make positive contributions and enjoy your stay here
