Did you find any template that limits the max-width?
The only one I found and which looks okish is: http://www.dokuwiki.org/template:doogie
It's currently running on our wiki. It feels more like a blog layout than a wiki but maybe this is jjust because of the top navigation buttons instead of a sidebar. Is this better? The actual width of the page can surely be changed easily via CSS.
Ah, I missed that one. Only thing missing seems to be sitemap when not logged in, the only way of finding the newsletter stuff is via its tag (or search).
I have converted the build system guide to docuwiki (sigh, just as annoying as I expected) but haven't had time to make the images yet. I added it with a howto tag and build and configure tags.
For a direct comparism, I pasted your text into another wiki to see how it looks with the Vector template:

Between these two I much prefer the Vector template's layout because: (1) I think it looks cleaner and more professional; (2) useful links such as "Printable version" and the Search input box are clearly visible. The Doogie template has almost none of this, with the Search input box at the very bottom of the page.
Similar here. The Doogie template has the advantage of a fixed max-width which Lex wants. Basically, we could add the missing "meta links" to the Doogie template by hacking them into it. But this reduces maintenability of course.
However, I don't want to make the decision about which template to use, I'd just like to configure the one you chose :). For me, the content is more important and I just don't know not enough about web design and all the criteria about usability and accessibility and all these things.
