Highly inappropriate advertisements on official Minecraft Wiki (minecraft.gamepedia.com).

Hi Mojang
As of late 2015 to early 2016, advertisements labeled "around the web" have been appearing. Some of them really disturb me and I think that the advertisements should not be there or at least have an option to turn them off. I do not want the wiki for your game to get labeled as inappropriate solely because of advertisements. The site itself is good (It tells you everything you need to know about the game), but if the advertisements are inappropriate, parents would hesitate to let their kids visit the site. I think that they should be removed or at least have a toggle on or off switch to get them out of here. They started off not too bad but edventually really disturbing ones started appearing. There is also a risk of someone accidentally clicking on one and getting a virus (I have never clicked on one but I heard that sometimes advertisements get you viruses), so please for the sake of your own players, take the ads off the wiki if possible.

The wiki is not from mojang; it’s owned by curse. It may be marked as the official minecraft wiki, but it’s not owned mojang, nor even an official source.

Just to reiterate what FVbico said: the wiki isn't run by Mojang. You'll want to contact curse (I've sent them a link to this report, but you might also want to post on, say, the admin noticeboard).

Was told:

log a ticket at https://gamepedia.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

with the details requested when you drill down to the "bad ads" section

So that's probably the best place to handle this type of issue.
