The wiki already is a narrow column, but the page content ''would'' get formatted differently based on what you say.

What do you all think? I know the mockup may not look the best, but I believe the structural layout of it is very solid.

New Skin

Pages shouldn't be embedding pictures larger than 854px wide, except as backgrounds. If you see any such examples, add |854px (or a lower size) to their embed tag (ex: [[File:Imagename.png|854px]]). -- User:SirYodaJedi 0:28, 6 Jun 2023

Give an example of such pages. --Raccoon (talk) 19:09, 26 Apr 2023

The new skin takes on the current wiki appearance with a screen width of 1366 pixels. The article block in the new skin has a maximum width of 1206 pixels. For comparison, in Wikipedia, this block has a width of 960 pixels. --THE OWL (talk) 7:47, 29 Apr 2023

I frequently use a 4:3 browser viewport that reports a width 1024 pixels (at 2.0x PPI scale or so; it's a tablet). The wiki already is a narrow column, but the page content would get formatted differently based on what you say. The current skin is designed for ancient 1024x768 screens, so it works great; please don't make it any smaller.

Pages such as Valve texture format, and most 1280px or higher File: pages are already too wide on my screen, for various reasons. Width should absolutely be standardized, but it should keep the least common denominators in mind. --SirYodaJedi (talk) 0:20, 6 Jun 2023

New Skin (Mockup)

Did my own mockup of what I think a new skin should look like:
