Another of the few good things about this skin: ads don't mess up how the content of an article is displayed, unlike with Monaco.

This comes at the cost of having the big honkin sidebar on the right. Prior to making this discovery, I was going to advocate that we just use CSS trickery to make the sidebar smaller. However, since there are ads displayed in it, we'd be violating Wikia's ToS by reducing the size of the side bar (obscuring the ad).

Basically all we could do is move the sidebar to the left, which doesn't really help with the size issue.
