"I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I don't see why it would seem like a good idea to give a rank to someone young. I know I have, but my wiki isn't as popular as this one and there is less risk. Maybe I'm missing something."

Rollbacker/Patroller is such a next-to-useless role nowadays that there's really no risk for that. There are only two special site permissions Rollbackers have, the rollback right itself and the ability to rename pages. In addition Rollbackers are allowed by our wiki rules to remove the M4R template from stories and to issue talk page warnings, but I'm the only one who does either of those (then again, I'm really the only Rollbacker who's even active anymore except for Vngel on occasion).

For other wiki roles, in my ideal world you would have to be at least 16 to be an admin and 18 to be a bureaucrat, but again I don't know if Fandom would allow us to have such restrictions or if it would be worth the trouble even if they did. All our current admins are over 18. I'm pretty sure it's been a few years now since this wiki had a minor as an admin.
