We have introduced a maximum line width to articles. Research has shown that limiting the width of long-form text leads to a more comfortable reading experience, and better retention of the content itself.

• Our studies with readers showed that readability was an issue with the current interface, in particular being able to focus on the content
• Pages that are not in a long-text format {{tq|(such as diffs, special pages, page history)}} will be presented at full-width as before
• Logged-in users who wish to read articles at full width are welcomed to set up a script or gadget that will allow for this{{tq|, such as this one}}
• For more details on research and motivation, see ourresearch section

:3. Issues that will not be addressed at this time (issues that are not part of the Desktop Improvements project, belonging to other teams, etc.)

:# A preference which allows the fixed width of the page to be turned off.

:#: A local gadget (currently experimental) or personal userscripts may address this at an individual editor level. — xaosflux ^Talk 10:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
