You haven't used a ultra widescreen monitor then. Reading Wikipedia (until today) on such screen was pretty hard, with sometimes a full paragraph on a single, long line. This change is much better.
As for the sidebar (which you don't talk about, I realize) it's very useful for non-English speakers: it's easy to switch from the local page to the English one, and I've used it quite a lot. For switching to other languages as well, when the local article is more knowledgeable than the English one
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoWhy would you maximize window width on an ultra widescreen? That isn't much of a value proposition for (Western) text consumption.
- marssaxman 6y agoThat is easy to solve - just don't fullscreen your browser window. Set it to a reasonable width and the content will follow.

Now, I have to scroll down to keep reading what should (and can) fit in the full window. Thanks, UX researchers! If I wanted to read a narrow sliver of text, I'd make my window narrow or browse on my phone.
