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.
New Skin (Mockup)

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

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.
