Also that annoying right sidebar takes up a lot, a lot of space, and then blow it is just blank space. Long articles will have huge amounts of wasted space, so why have that sidebar at all? It is clear that very few people like it and it is also visually distracting from the article's content. I thought that was the whole point of an article, to present its content, not show a slideshow of all the images on the wiki, or to have a big sign for here's how many articles are here and their most recent editors. Monaco has this done nicely and I think that should stay. Still don't like the fixed width, but if Wikia is going to go with it, then they need to make it larger, or shrink the right sidebar, or even better, make it disapper altogether by making it optional. The 660px, or whatever it is with the sidebar takes up a lot of content space, so either make the right sidebar smaller, or expand content space. I'd say go with expanding content space as it would make things much easier to see.
