Forum:When was the rule not allowing people under 13 added to the Terms of Use?

The Terms of Use used to have restrictions for users under 13 years old in order to comply with COPPA. But those users were allowed (and could register). Now it says,
 * Any registration by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Use. By registering the Service or the Site, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older and that you agree to and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Yet, there are wikia aimed at audiences primary under that age. And many users have self-declared that they are younger than 13. (And that is a violation, users under 18 should not be asked for or supply personally identifying information like age.)

Anyone have more information about this?
