  Website Maintenance and Invigilation Destinypedia is an encyclopedic database, dedicated to documenting all information about the Destiny franchise, which is edited and maintained by the general public - either anonymously or through an account. The information on Destinypedia and it's social features are monitored through post-moderation by volunteers from the community, selected on trustworthiness and experience; meaning that whilst action is always taken against any inappropriate material, it may occur at a delay.

Destinypedia is hosted by Wikia, a San Francisco based wiki platform hosting and development company, and is thus monitored closely by Wikia staff and representatives. Both Destinypedia and Wikia adhere to US federal government law, to ensure the best security and experience for its users.

Target Audience As a Wikia hosted wiki, Destinypedia adheres to federal law and is therefore only available for use by users above the age of 13 years old, in accordance with the children's online privacy protection act (COPPA). However, whilst Destinypedia is available to anyone over the age of 13 years old, caution should be advised for users within the age range of 13 to 15 years old, as the material and information on this website derives from a game aimed at an audience of 16 years and older. The content of this site may not be suitable for anyone under the age of 16 years old, and thus parental guidance is advised if someone under the age threshold is to use this site.

Account Set-up and Cost A registered account is not needed to read any Wikia sites, including Destinypedia, however account creation enriches the experience through extra features such as social modules and reduced website advertisements. Destinypedia allows users without an account to edit it's content, but displays that user's IP address publicly as a measure of recognising who edited what and when. Accounts can be made for anyone above the age of 13 years old, but requires the users date of birth and email address for confirmation. Destinypedia is is free of charge to all users, with or without an account.

Non-Official Status Destinypedia is not affiliated with or endored by Bungie Inc. ("Bungie"), Activision Inc. ("Activision"), Microsoft Corp. ("Microsoft"), or Sony Corp. ("Sony"), and is therefore not an officially sanctioned Destiny reference website. Destinypedia gathers and publishes all Destiny related information through the fair use doctrine under US federal copyright laws. For more information on our non-official website status please read our general disclaimer.

 <div align="justify" style="background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5); padding:5px;"> How old should my child be to play Destiny? Age ratings differ depending on region; however, the three main rating systems are the Software Rating Board (ESRB), European Game Information (PEGI)], and the Australian Classification Board (ACB). Currently Destiny is awaiting it's rating from both the ESRB and the ACB, but the PEGI has rated Destiny as suitable for individuals 16 years and older. As such, anyone under the age of 16 years is advised against playing Destiny.

What subscriptions doe Destiny require? Destiny has yet to be released and as such information on whether a subscription is required to play Destiny or not is still being confirmed. However, in a worst case scenario players will need access to Xbox Live Gold or the PlayStation Network. Xbox Live Gold costs as little as $5 USD (£3.33 GBP) whilst the PlayStation Network is free.
