These ad boxes are causing lots of trouble that we
were told they would not cause. JSharp fixed
something that was making the ads cover the top
portion of a "top-right" template instead of just
pushing it down. Then a few days ago we saw that a
full-width template (used on about 4,000 articles
and potentially thousands more plus a matching
category for most of them) was being pushed down
leaving a great white space to its left; the cure
was to add __WIKIA_BANNER__; but we should not
have to do that on 8,000+ wikis for any templates,
let alone several per wiki. Please, somebody, save
the janitors and helpers and admins a lot of time
by FIXING THESE AD PROBLEMS AT SOURCE.
