The first four paragraphs of your post are unnecessary repetition of what I already stated in both of my post. Which leads my to question your reading comprehension.

The question here is not about what we can't collect, but how we prevent it from being collected. Reiterating from my previous post: "It doesn't say how you should do it."

Considering that I suggest two alternative ways to achieve the same result, which is the user confirming that they are above 13. Both of which I find not to effect as much the more mature editors, for which the service is intended. Yes, I think the measures wikia has taken are unnecessarily harsh.
