Hello Ryuzakiforever,

I agree with you this is a very bad thing, but all is not lost for wikia that reply on anonymous help. As I understand it ONLY wikia that show orientation towards those under 13 have had anonymous users turned off. In my case, the Scan2Go wikia is one of those affected by the change.

On the other hand, I doubt a wikia about say AARP would have the same restriction now in place.

Thus only wikia that deal with stuff for those under 13 and rely on anonymous help will see an effect upon them. Wikia for those over 13 relying on anonymous help shouldn't see any difference, as anonymous contributions is still OK.
