A general problem with web advertising and even worse on mobile advertising is that most sites don't really know what the advertising company is going to show the user, so often those ads do strange and bad things. This is true of FANDOM as well. They even have a specific reporting link, because they can only try to deal with it after the fact: Special:Contact/bad-ad.

I will say, I haven't been hit by too many bad ads on mobile recently while browsing FANDOM wikis, but it is still unpredictable.
