{{legal policy list}}
{{nutshell|Wikipedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships in any form. Please report incidents to ''{{NonSpamEmail|legal-reports|wikimedia.org}}''.}}

Wikipedia regards the safety of children using the site as a key issue. Wikipedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships. Editors who attempt to use Wikipedia 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 [[Pedophilia|pedophiles]], will be [[WP:BLOCK|blocked]] and [[WP:BAN|banned]] indefinitely.

==Handling of reports==
===Child endangerment, child protection and child pornography===
Reports of editors attempting to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, or otherwise breaching trust and safety, should be made to the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] by email: {{NonSpamEmail|legal-reports|wikimedia.org}}. Reports of issues concerning images should be sent to the same email address.

===Apparent on-wiki advocacy===
Editors seemingly pushing agendas can be referred to any administrator in exactly the same way as any other POV-pushing allegation. Comments posted on Wikipedia suggesting that an editor may be a pedophile will be [[Wikipedia:Oversight|suppressed]] promptly, to avoid issues of privacy and possible libel. You should raise your concerns only by email; questions or accusations directed against a particular editor in project space may result in a block for the editor who posted them.

==Advice for young editors==
{{see also|Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors}}
If you are a younger editor and feel that another person on Wikipedia is behaving in a way that you feel threatens your personal safety, or worries you in any way whatsoever, please tell a responsible adult, and ask them to look at this page. Do not continue to communicate with the other person – ignore the person completely. Never give out information such as your address or phone number to anyone, including people who say they are trying to help you. When in doubt about whether certain information is too personal to share, do not give it out.
