Are you really saying that you'd risk legal problems so as not to inconvenience a few wiki editors? I honestly see no problem whatsoever. I don't want the wiki in legal trouble, and I think it's well within their rights to impress this new policy upon us without our say. Also, if a 13 year old REALLY wants an account they should just lie about their age. I feel like I was under 13 back when I made my account...(Don't worry, I'm legal, over thirteen that is)

Bottom line, this isn't good news, but it's surely not bad news. It's just news. I disagree, I think the wikis should've had some say in what would happen in relation to COPPA, since there were several options that Wikia could've taken, and wikis are definitely effected by these changes. Some wikis have quite a few anonymous editors because there topic is, for example, a tv show for 9 year olds, so they are going to have a lot more 9 year old editors than 13+ year old editors.
