Description:
I'm suggesting that page age-restriction be implemented into the latest version of MediaWiki. This feature will allow administrators to age-restrict pages via a special page called Special:AgeRestrict, which administrators can use to restrict pages to people 18 and over (kinda like YouTube). This restricts users with the 'readagerestricted' right (autoconfirmed users by default). This feature will also require people creating a new account to put in their birthday.

Version: 1.20.x
Severity: enhancement

What about anonymous users? Will that means requiring creating an account just to read the content?

You might want to discuss your idea with the community :-)

Anonymous or non-confirmed users will be unable to view the page, see its history, or even watch the page.

I believe this is something best implemented as an extension.

This is the most useless feature I've ever encountered on any website. What a complete waste of time implementing this in MediaWiki would be.
