Hi there. Users with registered accounts on Wikia must be at least 13 years old, per our Terms of Use. This is done in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a United States federal law. As a company based in the United States, Wikia is required to abide by this law.

If you have objections to this law, you are welcome to petition your local representative or state senator (or, if you’re not an American citizen, send a letter to your embassy in the United States). Encouraging people to violate the Terms of Use is not acceptable.

Anyone who is 13 years old or older is welcome to create an account.
