Wikivoyage:Child protection policy
| This page in a nutshell: Wikivoyage is a safe place for people of all ages. We have rules about behaviour that adults and children must follow. |
I'm a kid
If you are a young person on Wikivoyage, and someone is acting in a way that makes you feel scared, worried or not safe, tell an adult you trust right away. You or your trusted adult should email the Wikimedia Foundation at legal-reports@wikimedia.org.
If you think you are in danger, call your local police or ask your trusted adult to do so.
Do not keep talking to the person who is making you feel scared or worried. It is best to stop talking to them and ignore their messages.
Never tell anyone online your full name, age, home address, phone number, or other personal information, even if they say they want to help you. If you are not sure whether something is safe to share, do not share it.
If any of your personal information comes out, on purpose or by accident, contact the oversight team straight away: click here or email stewards-oversight@wikimedia.org. Do not post about it on Wikivoyage, not even to admins.
I'm an adult
| This section in a nutshell: Wikivoyage does not allow inappropriate relationships between adults and minors. There is zero tolerance of child pornography, pedophilia, or the advocacy thereof. |
The following is a Wikivoyage policy:
The Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use list the following activities as inappropriate uses of its websites, and are grounds for being blocked from editing:
- Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography.
- Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.
As such, editors who attempt to use Wikivoyage to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships on or off-wiki (e.g. by expressing the view that inappropriate relationships are not harmful to children), or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will have their access to this project expeditiously terminated.
The blocking administrator should exercise caution by using neutral block summaries and immediately inform the Wikimedia Foundation at legal-reports@wikimedia.org.
