New Skin

For god's sake please don't use this new wiki's "one-narrow-column" layout, it will ruin layout of all pages that have large images and screenshots.
-If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

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]]
).

Give an example of such pages.
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.

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.

I like it; it's basically what PCGamingWiki does, and it doesn't do any unnecessary moving of stuff around, unlike what Wikia did when removing Monobook.
