Depending on whom you believe, WP:PED is either being considered for elevation to policy, or already is.

Sue Gardner speaks, and the wikimedia foundation weasels out of articulating any "official policy" to the volunteers regarding the subject of pedophiles participating in their project,

QUOTE
Personally, I believe that zero tolerance for pedophilia and pedophilia advocacy is just common sense, and shouldn't necessarily need to be explicitly articulated in policy in order to be regularly and consistently enforced by admins. It's possible that the board of trustees may in future make a statement offering guidance with regards to the appropriate protection of children --- I don't know. But I do hope that the projects in the normal course of their work would act responsibly, without necessarily needing to have policies or guidance explicitly articulated for them by the board (or any other party).
