Wiki-read-easier

Have been using Wikipedia a lot recently, the text ran too wide. Fixed it up a little bit with some CSS:

You'll need to create a Wikipedia account, then go to Preferences > Appearance > Shared CSS for all themes (common.css) and paste this in.

You might want to adjust the height for the #toc (table of contents). 500px suits my screen.

div#content { font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid #A7D7F9; color: black; direction: ltr; margin-left: 30% !important; margin-top: -1px; padding: 1em; width: 40%; } #mw-panel { padding-left: 0.5em; visibility: hidden; } #toc, .toc, .mw-warning { left: 10px; position: fixed; top: 80px; } #left-navigation { left: 10px; } #right-navigation { left: 30%; margin-top: 2.5em; position: absolute; } #p-personal ul { list-style-image: none; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding-left: 29%; } table#toc.toc tbody tr td > ul { height:500px; overflow-y:auto; }

This guy spent a bit more time than me on his skin, much nicer:
