Yes, if you read the comments, the new feature is that the text resizes based on your resolution. So it looks fine on 4:3 monitors and looks horrible on larger devices. It also is currently entirely broken in mobile so that people cannot see the entire page or edit, though that part wasn't intentional.

Wikia wishes to make the site look the same across all devices so that the user experience is the same on all platforms. To do that, they did scaling, which as you just said makes it look different on each...

Nice! Anything to escape from the largeness of the text! Plus it would be better to talk to you in real time when doing all of this stuff :P

EDIT: "Hey guys, I'll try and answer these questions here! The font size and line height are changing to focus on readability. To explain a bit more, a series of best practices have evolved that indicate a range of words and characters per line that deliver the best results. For most users, more content on the page is actually harder to consume rather than easier. In order for on-screen text to have both the best speed and comprehension possible, these changes were made."

So, basically, we have large text so that way it is easier for us to consume. Of course I am having more trouble consuming this as I can only see 2-3 small posts at a time.
