 Things to know prior to submitting revisions
 ----------------------------------------------
 
+- Please follow the `Ansible code of conduct <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html>`_ in all your interactions with the community.
 - All doc revisions or additions are done through pull requests against the ``devel`` branch.
 - You must use ``git commit --signoff`` for any commit to be merged, and agree that usage of ``--signoff`` constitutes agreement with the terms of `DCO 1.1 <https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/DCO_1_1.md>`_.
 - Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use ``git rebase`` vs ``git merge`` for this reason.
  - If collaborating with someone else on the same branch, consider using ``--force-with-lease`` instead of ``--force``. This will prevent you from accidentally overwriting commits pushed by someone else. For more information, see `git push docs <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#git-push---force-with-leaseltrefnamegt>`_.
-- If submitting a large doc change, it's a good idea to join the `Ansible Community Forum <https://forum.ansible.com/c/project/7/>`_, and talk about what you would like to do or add first. Use the ``#documentation`` and ``#awx`` tags to help notify relevant people of the topic. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort, if the community decides some changes are needed. For more information on tags, see `Navigating the Ansible forum — Tags, Categories, and Concepts <https://forum.ansible.com/t/navigating-the-ansible-forum-tags-categories-and-concepts/39>`_.

 .. Note::
 
  - Issue assignment will only be done for maintainers of the project. If you decide to work on an issue, please feel free to add a comment in the issue to let others know that you are working on it; but know that we will accept the first pull request from whomever is able to fix an issue. Once your PR is accepted we can add you as an assignee to an issue upon request. 
 
- - If you work in a part of the docs that is going through active development, your changes may be rejected, or you may be asked to `rebase`. A good idea before starting work is to have a discussion with us and ask questions on Matrix at `#awx:ansible.com <https://matrix.to/#/#awx:ansible.com>`_ or discuss your ideas on the `Ansible Community Forum <https://forum.ansible.com/c/project/7/>`_.
