The entire Community Support team spent a great deal of time and effort identifying wikis that are potentially appealing to children, keeping in mind that many wiki contributions as a whole require a certain degree of sophistication. We still had to decide which of our communities could be considered as attractive to a younger audience, such that even if they weren't intended to be directed to children, they could be characterized as such based on the criteria outlined by the FTC. To assess the wikis, we specifically looked at things like the subject of the wiki (including the rating, medium, genre, content, absence or presence of explicit or graphic material, demographics, intended audience, actual audience, likely audience, and general accessibility. We also looked at the wikis themselves, and considered their visual content, layout, local character, and activity. The results of this risk assessment gave a pretty good idea of which wikis might fall under the FTC's categorization, as it was based on their criteria.
