Okay, in response to some of the criticism, I've changed the positioning of the elements so that they don't actually cross into the body of the articles in all browsers, at standard zoom levels. But it's still pretty obvious so that there's a higher chance people will click on it. This means, however, that the X is off the page at just about every zoom level. Given that Wikia are working to fix the dismissibility error, this isn't a problem, because dismissing will be as easy as reading the message.

The only box that will ever display here that can't be dismissed by reading the message is the one that says "an important message from the Data Core". And that's fine. As I said, this message will come up very rarely. In fact, this is probably the only time that alert will be triggered the whole year. So I want people having to encounter the "don't spoil things" message while they figure out how to make the box go away.
