In chrome, I see that the right menu is 203px wide. It seems to stem from the fact that [1] contains html,body{font-size:110%}

Also note that the right menu is 185px at fa.wikipedia.org

Setting the font-size to 100% seems to decrease the width to 168px.

Another method could be removing div#content {margin-right:11em} and #left-navigation {right: 11em;} from [1].

Pretty sure this is something done by wiki admins, not shell users/ops.

This only affects user of the Vector skin (though seeing that it is the default skin on that wiki, that's not too much of a comfort) via a CSS rule written down at [[:ur:MediaWiki:Vector.css]].

I am sure there were some reasons behind changing the font size for all of the site, so I wouldn't like to make any decision without hearing from the community first. Two options come to my mind off the top of my head:

#1: Getting rid of that CSS rule as a whole (so the site's text size depends on user's own settings);
#2: Changing the rule so that the text in the sidebar is smaller than in the rest of the site or removing margin per comment 1.

I would personally be in favour of option 1, sice — as far as I see — none of the other Wikipedias written in the Arabic script have that rule[1].

== Footnotes ==
* [1] Yes, I am aware that Urdu is not technically written with the Arabic script, but Perso-Arabic; I am assuming that they are very similar.

[Closing the bug; this isn't anything we can fix ourselves. Please use the solution #1 from comment 5.]
