The “appearance” button seen on Dutch wikipedia is able to change the SIZE of the font (text) and the width of the article. This is extremely nice to have, but it’s not there on any English article…

    Maybe it’s a default feature for all non-English languages to account for potential writing system differences? May not make as much a difference for other languages using the Latin alphabet, but maybe for East Asian scripts or Arabic or Hindi etc., they don’t want to assume the default layout is as readable as it is for English?

    Just a shot-in-the-dark guess.

      well the english wiki does have the wide layout option through the square button on the bottom left, ever since the new layout revamp. Just not the font size option.
