"With yesterday's update, many of your visitors will have noticed almost no difference - because they aren't on large screens - they're on mid-size laptops, or tablets. What you're seeing now is what a lot of your visitors already had to contend with, because many articles were designed against the largest of screens, without realising the effects on smaller screens."

This doesn't apply to our Wikia, 93% of all visitors are on desktop and of those people 49% of people are on 1920x1080, 7% on 1680x1050 and 6% on 1920x1200. We have 5% on 1366x768, 5% on 1600x900 and 4% on 1440x900, which is 14%. That doesn't compare well to the 62% with bigger screens.

We understand that optimizing for lower screen devices is important, but increasing font-size, reducing the width of Desktop XL (which is just desktop. Desktop XL should be 1440p or 4K really) doesn't help the people on lower screen resolutions at all. It just makes it less enjoyable for people with higher screen resolutions. Tables will always be difficult to get right across all devices, which is why people live with it. You can't force people to fix tables that work well on desktops to work well on smaller devices (that is, reduce the possibility of horizontal scrollbar) as it would only cause less information to be visible for those tables or that they're split into two.

As I've said before, font-size should be brought down a notch, around 2-5px, and line-height drastically reduced. From my understanding the line-height doesn't even follow the golden ratio (haven't checked), which is something a lot of people enjoy and feel is the best.
