"...and I guarantee you the next update will be worse,..."
 * I've disagreed with many of Wikia's recent update, but this isn't one of them (outside some minor reductions in font). If the next update's worse, it'll really just be average.

"The only people this benefits are mobile users."
 * Not really. This layout change benefits anyone who wishes for their articles to be relatively consistent at various screen sizes, something fluid failed to do.

"People like large pages, it makes things look less cramped."
 * Nope. Large (wide more specifically) pages require more work to read. They turn a decent size paragraph into a few lines. Throw in images placed around that text, it wasn't uncommon for them to be piled in a column away from the text they wished to illustrate. Not to mention the amount of dead, pointless white space.

"...if you have any respect for your fans, make constructive updates."
 * This is a constructive update that gives more respect to mobile smaller resolution users who had to deal with pages designed for large pages by users with large screens. This update's not unreasonable as it's a compromise between the static one size for everyone and fluid's highly variable sizes.

"...you released an unstable update, just accept that and revert it."
 * They have accepted it wasn't a great release. That doesn't make the point of it any less valuable and doesn't mean the end result is going to be worthless.
