Thanks to all for helping to clarify that some of this feedback was specific to when a browser is zoomed. We did not focus on the "zoomed" experience during initial development of fluid layout. Browser zooming within a responsive layout is tricky and different websites handle it in different ways (some better than others). This is the feedback period, as we've made clear, and the perfect time to bring up things like this. We'll take a look at the zooming behavior as we make adjustments to fluid layout.

To circle back and clarify on the thread's main topic — as detailed in the initial post: Susanolivia wrote: Darwin has a minimum article content space of around 700px, no matter what resolution you’re on. If you’re using a display that can support more than the 700px minimum, your content space will grow. For instance, the most standard resolution for users on Wikia is 1336px, representing about 20% of our total visits. With the fluid layout, users on that resolution will see an article content space of about 816px, an increase of 146px from today.

So at any screen size (where the user has not zoomed in or out), there is an increase in article content space from today's 670px width. Bigger resolutions will show a more substantial change.
