Now this thread is soon going to be full of hate. Thanks, Wikia. Traffic. We decided to test the change first so we can ensure that it doesn't negatively impact the traffic that the module brings to news and stories. If the data isn't negatively impacted by the change, then we'll roll it out in a couple of weeks.

Honestly reducing the size will "increase" traffic. Of course it will take a little time for people to figure out i's changed. As others have stated, the majority of people don't like the way it's displayed, so reducing it will improve the experience of using the site for the better.
