Be careful using this. Some people still browse Wikipedia on 800x600 monitors, and I frequently use my Blackberry to access Wikipedia. Formatting like this may not transfer well to small-screen devices.
Actually it seems to be designed to scale according to browser page width (I wish more pages did this!) A table may look slightly odd if the available screen width isn't enough to contain all the text and it has to wrap the columns, but at least you get to see the text without annoying horizontal scroll. Wikipedia is actually quite good at this; some sites such as gmail are utterly hopeless, apparently written by complete amateurs.
