I'm not aware of any such behavior in *any* of the stock MediaWiki skins, unless this is something Fandom has inserted themselves for the purpose of displaying ads, etc... We use data tracking for analytics and advertising purposes - as outlined in our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. As mentioned in the general GDPR thread, those policies will change as well with this law's rollout and you will receive emails and notifications regarding those changes. In that case why not just use MediaWiki's dozens of built-in rendering/UI hooks to do the same thing without having to directly modify every available skin? That's literally what they're there for.
