So in a way it's even worse to ask a suspected underaged user their age, versus one who is not underaged (though asking the latter is still not permitted if the user is under 18). Unless wikia has some specific policy about this. Logically if an admin suspect that a user is underage and as such his\other actions might be in violation of the law. Then he SHOULD try to determine the user age.

Just as when underaged try to buy alcohol, the store owner is allowed and even encouraged to ask for their id.(Though most don't)
