Well, they didn't say a majority use 1024x768, just that a small enough minority still use it that can't be ignored. I think it was somewhere around 15%. WoWWiki got an exception made, so their site is now formatted for 1280 width instead of 1024 width. The exception was made because a much lower percentage of its users were on such a small width (9%, as I recall). Didn't really help that much in persuading much of their contributor base not to move.

As an aside, Unregistered: It's kind of off-putting that you made demands of us without knowing fully what we're capable of even doing. This is something we can't change without moving the wiki to a new host. I'm not willing to put effort into doing that, and no one else here has expressed any interest in making that happen either. You're welcome to try, of course, but most movement efforts have been poorly executed at best. ( WoWWiki Wowpedia is a very notable exception to this blanket statement)

Point is: most people here are unwilling to put forth the effort to moving the wiki (literally the only conceivable way we can accommodate your demand). If that means you're forced to no longer use the site, that's unfortunate. But I would suggest you heed Lancer's advice and make your complaint known to Wikia. Much of their data supporting the move to a fixed-width layout comes from simple site statistics which show in some nebulous way that they're better. Giving them data-points to the contrary will go a long way toward changing their mind.
