If you would like to keep the right rail on the right at resolutions lower than 1024px, you can add these CSS rules to Special:MyPage/wikia.css (See Help:JavaScript_and_CSS_Cheatsheet for more info)

.WikiaMainContentContainer { margin-right: 310px; } .WikiaMainContent { float: left; margin-right: -320px; } .WikiaRail { float: right; width: 300px; }

Perhaps Wikia Staff would consider adding "Don't move right rail at lower screen widths" option in preferences to achieve this for people who would prefer it this way. (It would be beneficial for Wikia, as the right rail ad would still be displayed in the same place, and by their own accounts, that ad is the breadwinner.)

That's not a new prompt, it was supposed to have been like that for a long time, but there was apparently a bug that caused it not to appear in some cases - they fixed it two weeks ago.

(I also don't really like it either, but I've learned to live with it, and I've used Mediawiki:newarticletext to add a helpful message when creating a new article.)
