The reason that space appears to be "wasted" is because Wiki wants to be compatible with as many forms of technology as possible. Yes, it's wasted to you and me. To someone with an old monitor that does only 680 across, it completely fills the screen. I agree that it's annoying not to be able to use more space, but that's the reason.
