Request for shorter rows and/or word wrap

Hi :)
Sorry.  The previous answer forgot to CC the original poster who did state that they were not on this list.  I'm just copying Paddy's answer to them.
Regards form
Tom :)

    As a matter of design, all web pages should be automatically
    auto-wrap unless there is a specific reason to do otherwise. I think
    the Wiki pages already do have that.

    

    I think what has happened is that the Wiki pages are a set width.
    That is a
    another design consideration; pages should have either flexible
    widths
    or a maximum width. In both cases, there should not be a minimum
    width,
    unless there is a specific reason to do so.

    

    As far as I can tell, the Wiki width is set to 945 pixels, which of
    course grows larger as you increase the text size.

    

    I wonder

      Wiki pages are hard to read by common web browsers such as Firefox
      and
      Chromium browser especially, if you don't have a big resolution
      wide
      screen display, and you zoom pages bigger to get bigger text. I
      found
      the wiki much easier to read, if I disabled CSS by an add-on in
      Firefox, since then rows are automatically wrapped to fit in
      screen.
