That still doesn't change what I stated. Wikia obviously cares about ads on the main page as noted by the scale at which they are used (ie. background ad).

"...only detracts from the wiki itself, and can prevent the main page from looking professional or at least well-thought-out as its meant to be."


 * This could be stated about the header and its additional description as well. These are a form of advertising and make less sense to be on what is being advertised.
