The design flaw comes in a combination of fixed width of both the content total and the sidebar. The actual page content is limited to 660 pixels of width because of that combination. The page linked to in the OP is using the Oasis skin.
Compare to an average character page from FFWiki:
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tifa
And an average weapon listing:
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/L...sy_VII_Weapons
For fair comparison, here's a race page from WoW Wiki:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Worgen_%28playable%29
Here's a random gameplay mechanic page from the same:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Combat
This is representative of a lot of wikis out there. WoW's wiki is already considering jumping ship because of how badly it will ruin their formatting, among many others.
This is an example of a character page that's been adjusted to the new Oasis skin:

Here's another one showing how having images quickly eats up text space:

A lot of this could be solved by allowing the user to manually collapse the sidebar. That's the argument I'd like Wikia to see.
