User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-1192804-20101006220308/@comment-1632443-20101006220701

They don't care at all. Just go to ShoutWiki if you actually wanted a wiki that actually wants to be readable. Now Wikia's a social networking service. They refuse to address the fact that many users think the sidebar should be hide-able, and at this point you should just give up. 1/3 devoted to a sidebar and 1/3 to wiki content is just not enough.
