User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-954127-20141212134918

I'm going to say this, It is a devil of a deal here. The increase in content area of about 120 pixels and the nice shoulders of 120 pixels on left and right is a sight for sore eyes. But the "Recent wiki activity" sours the whole thing, and lets be clear here... Does either wikia or editors/lurkers need it? No. It is a artifact of previous designs and serves no purpose. The infoboxes/bios need more room at the top of the page than 65 pixels vertical on a 1280 X 720 resolution screen. The ads suck; but it is the price for hosting a wiki here, and is to benefit the bottom line.

The another concern (though minor) is that the "contribute" section was added to the "Gear icon" drop down of the Typography. It is clearly more of a edit feature and should be placed on the "Pencil Icon" drop down instead.
