Done so.
But it looks weird, 40em is too few I'd say:

I installed the wrap plugin anyway (in the Geany wiki). If you want,
play around with it, even at the risk Frank will hate us :).
Seriously, we could at least try what's possible and then decide
whether we want this or not.
In general, I share Frank's opinion of a common layout and style across
the wiki however in this particular case I also see the benefit of a
custom max-width for the page.

I agree.
New users now automaticallly get into the user group and so can edit,
create and delete pages and upload files.
For each change, I get a notification mail currently. Alternatively,
everyone can subscribe to the wiki via RSS and so get also notified
about changes.

Regards,
Enrico
