Yeah, this is is an old subject. What I remember about why the requirement of being 13 to create an account was enacted has nothing to do with the mental maturity of pre-teens. It was to help Wikia (now Fandom) comply with the U.S. COPPA law.

My question was what do you do if you find out someone's under 13. As shown above, you don't go fishing for info from users to see if they are. That's entrapment. But if they happen to say it voluntarily, you're supposed to report it.
