What do we do about underage users? I see lots of them, and I’m not sure what to do. I got some help from another WikiHowian about a pair of anons, but I’m still seeing more. Help!
Just report them to an admin. Only do it if you KNOW they are under 13 though.
Okay. I started to panic, cause I see them all the time. But isn’t there a COPPA form their guardians can fill out?
I believe so but we’re talking about 12 and unders and they don’t always, uh, think in a calm and patient way
(no offence to 12 year olds LOL)

P.S. Administrators do not and will not block IPs, as they can be shared by anyone. If anyone sees an IP write their specific age, remove it from the article/page and write {{age}} on their talk page. P.P.S. Please do NOT ask/confirm people for their age. This might get you in trouble as well for getting their personal information, etc.
I write {{age}} on it? I didn’t know that. Is that a template?
Yes, that is a template. If you see a user who says they’re under 13, put {{ age
}} on their talk page. If it’s an anonymous user, still put it on, just to let them know. If you want, you can also put a {{ safety
}} (template) on their page too. It’d also help to look at the link Maluniu provided.June Days
