I'm not entirely sure it was formatted too well before the update (viewable here), but one idea to get the old proportions back would be to shrink the font of the whole table. That's of course going to cause other readability problems though.

Another alternative would be to resize those buttons -- they're forcing the column width wider, so you could get a more even column distribution by shrinking them.

That being said, that still doesn't solve the main issue: there's a lot of text in those cells, particularly that one on the far right. You might be better reorganising the table entirely, switching the row and column orientations. If that still doesn't work, it might be better to split it into multiple tables, or use a different presentation entirely.

While you can use CSS to make the wiki display similarly to how it did prior to the update, the feedback I've gotten from Wikia Staff is that that's only allowed for personal use, not wiki-wide (i.e. it may not be placed into MediaWiki:Common.css for a wiki), hence why the suggestions above focus on modifying table elements rather than fiddling with the page width.

Edit, to 452: for me, when I use the breakpoint 0/typography 0 URL, I see the rightmost column as having a width of 3-4 words. In the screenshot Essie Essex included above, I'm seeing a maximum of 2 words in that column.



On double checking though, I only see that 3-4 word width when I've got my window fully maximised. Collapsing the window downwards even slightly results in something quite similar to the screenshot (there's a fully maximised window behind the wiki one to show how much I've collapsed it by).
