I fail to see any problem with the restrictions. There's no real problem, at all. There really is no problem, and I don't see why you seem determined to find one. It prevents people under the age of 13 from editing at all. I know at least one un-registered editor who is/was under 13 who would, by this, be prevented from editing despite having a skill for it.

Many people don't register because they can't, because they are under the age of 13.

Also the change is kinda annoying because no wikis had any say in it really, and we (the Nintendo Wiki) were only made aware that we were on the list just today. Many other wikis got much earlier notice. And restricting annon edits is something that Wikia generally doesn't allow on request, but now they are making it mandatory on many wikis.
