A number of wikia sites seem to be implementing an anti-adblock element. It doesn't seem to be consistent; it activates on some articles and not on others.

Code: Select all

@@||wikia.com^$genericblock
@@||wikia.com^$generichide
@@||wikia.com^$elimhide
None of the above rules seem to defeat it.

Here's one article where it pops up consistently: http://undertale.wikia.com/wiki/Photoshop_Flowey

Here's an image of it in action:

FYI - it's $elemhide not $elimhide.

Hi guys. One of our users reported this as well. I tried the above filters, first @intense's three, then adding @-Mark-'s, and I'm still seeing the anti-adblock notice in AdBlock 3.8.2 (Adblock Warning Removal list is enabled). It appears a few seconds after the page loads.

Sample page: http://undertale.wikia.com/wiki/Photoshop_Flowey

Whenever I browse through any wikia, two advertisements pop up. Here's a screenshot as an example:

AdBlock Plus and all my subscriptions are updated as well.

The end of many of Wikia's pages now includes some inline "PageFair recovery" javascript that loads a script from a domain with a random name. Blocking access to that domain leads to a full-page error page. I'm not sure how to block inline scripting of this sort.

Here is one page that is doing it currently:

Ironically based on my testing, Microsoft Edge w/Adblock Plus is the only web browser that block all advertisements throughout the entire wikia.
