It's generally that the newspaper has a policy of not publishing the names of juvenile offenders, not that they're not allowed to.
In the UK, publication of the names of an offender under the age of 18 is normally restricted (Children and Young People's Act 1933, I think). Judges can remove the restriction and have done so in some highly publicised cases. Likewise, there are legal restrictions to revealing the names of rape victims and some other people whose identity is not supposed to be published.
I doubt a UK-based editor would be protected from the legal consequences (contempt of court proceedings) of revealing restricted information just because Wikipedia is hosted in Florida.
