Whether or not people are mature enough to register on wikia completely misses the point. We can't just say "This person is a preteen but I think they're mature enough to register", or "This person is a preteen and they are clearly not mature enough to register".

So the best solution is to keep the age restriction in place and prohibit the registrations of users who are preteens. In some ways I get what people who disagree are meaning, but they need to see wikia staff's side of things.

The staff of wikia don't hold these age restrictions for themselves, they do it because they feel that it is best for users, communities, and readers across wikia as a whole. And I must say, that I agree.
