There is one, under general rules: ''Do not give out any personal information anywhere on the wiki. This especially includes your full name, your phone number, and your address'' Although it doesn't address age, it does address personal information in general. It's a personal decision whether you want to reveal your age, but full name, address and phone number is when we draw the line.

However, I suggest a rule against sockpuppeting and suggest a rule against 13 U and a rule that states if you tell someone you're under 13 that person must report that user to the admins who must then report it to wikia. And if they don't report it and admins or another staff member finds out you will be blocked with assisting someone with breaking the rules.

We already have a rule about sockpuppeting. Do not pose as anyone but you meaning do not pretend to be a celebrity, another user, etc. Role playing is acceptable as long as you notify the wiki community that you are a role play account. Although we don't say in black and white "Do not sockpuppet", the main idea of the rule is not to pose as someone else/use a false identity.

Also, your other "rule" has a major flaw on it. Say a user announces their age in the comments section, by your rule 'anyone who has been on that page, they don't have to comment, they just have to be on there, would be blocked. The rule is way to harsh. I get that you care about this rule, but the thing is that we're not forced to report it, and the admins don't have to enforce COPPA if they don't want to.
