→ Spotlights |
Hello all,
Both myself and Kingcjc have contacted Wikia over the innapropriate spotlights that are displayed on this wiki. We have both recieved responses that basically sum up to Wikia not caring about us, and telling us to suck it up. One promised that they would tell their supervisor about it, but that was weeks ago, and the bad spotlights are still here. So I propose that we use CSS to remove them. I'm not sure about the code, but we can find it somewhere.
Now, if anyone thinks that ads for the following wikis are find on a wiki whose average viewer's age is ~9, then speak now. I personally feel that spotlights such as these are either innapropriate, or just plain stupid to have on a wiki of this topic:
- Beer Wiki
- Cocktails Wiki
- Las Vegas Wiki
- Wedding Wiki
- All of the recipes wikis - honestly, how does food relate to toys?
- Fashion Wiki - once again, completely unrelated and I can't imagine our viewers wanting to go there.
As I said, if people feel that these are fine, speak now. Please vote below.

- Personally the Tattoo Wiki one was pretty offensive. Skdhjf(Talk!) 18:59, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

- Not that I see them, but it does sound like at least these types of wikis shouldn't be on our pages (nothing against those wikis personally, they're just probably not suitable for young viewers) NightblazeSaber 03:53, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Please note that if we are going to remove those we otta remove fights and usage of the word "punk" and such, this goes for kingcjc too. punk Rocker not included. User Talk:Vandal12 - Energizer bunny arrested, charged with battery- You have less than 200 mainspace edits. Your vote doesn't count. Why? Because of our individual editcounts, we are lowly underlings to the Supreme Cabal of Brickipedia Editors (SCoBE), which makes us retards who have no idea of how wikis should be run. This is true because the SCoBE is always right. FB100Z • talk • contribs 17:39, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

I personally don't find anything really offensive about them, but some of them are not the kind of things that younger viewers would have interest in. I mean, most 9-year-olds aren't very fascinated by mixed drinks. FB100Z • talk • contribs 01:30, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

. I even know the codes to block ads, the Create a new WIki button and more.:) Skdhjf(Talk!) 19:12, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Switching to monobook's easier than looking up/remembering code :P (couldn't resist) NightblazeSaber 03:53, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
- O...K? Skdhjf(Talk!) 04:00, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
- @NHL, if you go to most of them, they aren't even active save a few people that Wikia is paying to edit them. It's not like we're offending any communities here :P ajr 04:13, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
- I've added it, if we have some opposes, we can take it out, but I don't think anyone will oppose. Jag 05:45, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
- @Tatooine- do you know the code for hiding the side ones? (only seen on long pages) Jag 08:34, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
- nvm, it's gone now :P ajr 23:52, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
- >_> It was probably the cache.:P Skdhjf(Talk!) 00:49, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
Okay, one thing. First of all, spotlights are classified as Wikia ads, and hiding them is a violation of the Wikia Terms of Use. Second, good luck trying to talk the Wikia folks into this. FB100Z • talk • contribs 01:30, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
