COPPA stipulates that American companies cannot store personal information of people they know to be under 13. If you edit anonymously, you do not actually give FANDOM/Wikia any personal to store.

In practice, FANDOM/Wikia has disabled anonymous editing at a number of wikis geared towards a younger audience, to make sure those who want contribute register, and thus imply (or lie) that they're over 13. But this does not mean anonymous users may not edit any wiki. Has no relation with COPPA!
