Just one line of code? Really? Fucking Christ, that somehow makes the whole situation worse.

If the experience of legitimately wanting to use a wikia page is more frustrating than being tricked into opening a shocker site then the admins/ones in charge of code need to shut their fucking wikia down in disgrace or fix the problem. If the fix is actually that simple then they need to get a clue.
