I get and understand why narrower increases the readability and understanding, I have a script in my bookmarks I click to narrow articles on some sites (Wikipedia included). But if it's done developer wise I'd rather they make use of the browser's width instead of narrowing it down to 50%. For instance, having three columns instead of the current two columns would solve this problem as it would show more content and focus more on the content rather than the background.

Font-size could be improved, it's far too big as it is right now. This is particularly annoying with navboxes and recent activity. Put it down a notch and reduce the line-height more than half
