Hi! Wikia's Terms of Use require you to be 13 years or older in order to have a Wikia account. There's nothing that we can do about that, as it required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA is a US law that regulates what personal information websites can collect from minors (children under 13). Wikia prevents children from under 13 from creating a Wikia account in order to comply with this law (there's a bunch of rules websites need to follow with this law if they allow children to be on the website, which can be difficult on such a large site like Wikia).
