I really don't lnow how, but over ALL the words "Free" in the Club Penguin Wiki there is a link to an advertisement (ant TONS of pages have the word "Free", just to let you know). This link suddenly appeared in all pages, and i have no idea why. Is this happening in other wikis, too?

P.S. there are other words with links in other wikis, "Online", etc.
- Yes, this is all over Wikia. Adverts over certain words, masquerading as wikilinks, tricking people into clicking them for the wrong reason, the worst kind of advert. Send a complaint to special:contact about how bad you think this practice is. However you shouldn't see it if you're logged in - if you do, turn off adverts in your preferences--Category:Acer4666 09:21, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
- OK, i sent it to wikia's E-mail. I just hope it will be fixed easily.

- Those link-adverts (infolinks and such) are not qualified by Wikia as "bad ads". So if you report them using Special:Contact either they will say that it's an accepted ad format or they will lie you about removing them (lie because they will remain until mid of january, that's the ad campaign duration).
