Thank you both for your responses! When I look at w:c:tea:MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation, I find this: This in turn generates some menu items like these: So, it is not as simple as just changing the width of items in MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation. To get the widths smaller will also mean having to shorten article names and category names everywhere throughout the wiki. Moreover, shortening category names means not only renaming the categories, but also having to, one by one, re-categorize every item that populates the categories being changed.
 * List of tea companies in the United Kingdom
 * List of large American tea brands
 * List of tea companies/Current

Surely Wikia did not intend that we volunteer wiki maintainers would have to do that much work implementing the new, improved wiki nav? Did it? The new menu look is great! But, that’s a lot of work.

Any suggestions to make this easier would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  04:00 October 20, 2011 (UTC)
