I really appreciate the effort put into this wiki. It's like a haven of pop culture too obscure for Wikipedia that's been sprinkled with rumors and mystery dust. If I had one gripe about it, it would be the layout, specifically page width. Can this be modified, please? Every page I look at has this giant white purgatory between the far-left side of my screen and the article's table of contents. Turning off my ad-blocker shows no ads on that side of the screen, so I've ruled out that possibility. No gap exists on the right side unless you count all the social media links.
I understand the design idea behind having right-aligned section headers, but aligning it this far to the right makes content harder to read.

I have a feeling that this is like a NASA thing where it's like, they could but it'd probably cause some mishaps when it happens. Coding can go seriously wrong if one is not careful, so I assume they won't do it because it could obliterate the website like no tomorrow.

I wouldn't say it's quite as sensitive as NASA, but I do agree that small changes to any webpage can (but not necessarily should) have harmful side effects.
The cascading style sheet (CSS) is all that needs to be changed. The lines in question state that these widths are "important". Currently the CSS sets the right and left page sidebars at a fixed 330px width and the main content at the difference between the total page width and 660px.
When shrinking the width of the window viewing a page, there will come a point when the total width is less than 660px, and that's when whole articles shift. I can comfortably view an article at a width of less than 660px because it allows the content to fill in all the space it needs, but sidebars (and especially infobox images) get stretched to expand to the width. When the width of my window allows for sidebars to have a fixed width and display the main content, the main content gets pushed to the middle like thumbs on temples.
Using Firefox, I changed the attributes in my browser's local stored version of an article and found no significant drawbacks in viewing the page after modifying width, min-width, and max-width parameters in the style sheet.
