Also, you could try writing "ECMWF archive" instead (this inserts
a non-breaking space).  Or, on Windows systems, use ALT+0160 on the
numeric keypad to enter a non-breaking space instead of a normal one.

Another possibility might be to put >>white-space=nowrap<<
at the top of the sidebar page.  

Still another possibility (depending on the skin used) might 
be to place the following in pub/css/local.css

#wikileft { white-space: nowrap; }

Can you give us the link so we can see it? I suspect the skin sets the 
width of the sidebar to something narrower than you want. The fix 
depends on how the skin is doing this.

Normally, people want the sidebar to be much narrower than the main content.

Cheers!
