For those sites it works, cause they focus the attention on one action at a time. This works for two types of sites/pages:


 * Sites that want you to do one thing (subscribe, buy, share, etc)
 * Sites that provide wizard-style guided editing

A wiki is different from that as it provides free-style editing, with text that requires both understanding and context. So yes, you can't just put in a standard editor with 2 giant rows and a footer with information you can do without and if you do, there should be a "full screen" or "distraction free" mode that uses all available space.
