I see now upon further investigation that the top ad bar is what generated this: some ads have a feature that brings up a window shade after a few seconds of hovering. I triggered this one accidentally while trying to access the menu bar.

So I will clarify my previous post with the following questions:

1) Why am I getting ads at all, when I'm logged in and my preferences are set to show no ads?

2) Why and how are ads that have no dismiss function being allowed to show on pages? Is there no QC for ads that are served to Wikia?

3) What is the best and most effective way (if any) to change the placement of ads so that they don't interfere with the layout, the ability to navigate or the general enjoyment of the site?

I understand that Wikia's ability to maintain itself depends on ad placement, and to that I have no objection. But when they interrupt workflow and disrupt the UX, that is when people bail for sunnier climes. For the moment, I have had to turn off the specific ad classes in the CSS with a browser plug in, just so I can work on an article without interruption.
