Thank you for understanding and being patient with it, most have a meltdown when they find out and act out by vandalizing. If you want to continue editing, that’s up to you, but like I said you might have to deal with accounts getting shut down by people above me until you turn 13.

Your previous account was blocked by FANDOM Staff (the staff for the whole site not just our wiki) because the legal minimum age to have an account on FANDOM and most other sites is 13. This is due to laws (such as COPPA in the US) that restrict the amount of data sites are allowed to collect on younger users. By your own admission, you are 10. Now, our wiki rules are worded that way because we try to be a welcoming community and understand that younger users can still contribute constructively to the wiki and we don't do anything like go around asking people's ages. However, if you say you are under 13 we are not going to actively prevent people from reporting this to higher sitewide staff. And if you are breaking other rules (vandalism, spam, etc.) we may report you. I apologize for the inconvenience but FANDOM is just trying to comply with the law. I also apologize for the rudeness shown to you by the previous user in their above replies. The majority of the community is not like that. I'd advise you to wait until you turn 13 before making an account as this process of banning accounts will probably keep happening until then. Rudeness? I was trying to help out the kid, but he was confusing me. "Oh I see! You’re ten, Fandom only allows 13 y/o, you’re immature, no one liked you, BYE BYE."

yeah, sure Exactly, it was very rude.
