This is only a requirement for Wikia to enforce. The act doesn't prevent those under 13 from creating or using an account. COPPA states that a company like Wikia can't collect information, such as IP addresses, from those under 13. The act only becomes an issue if Wikia Staff are alerted that someone is less than 13, then they must block them and remove this information. Having an account under 13 is a TOU violation though. Admins are under no obligation to police the issue and they can chose to ignore it. If they decide not to, they aren't encouraged to block the user for this reason as it doesn't concern them. Staff should be informed via Special:Contact.
