re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_family#See_also

This is an example of poor, non-scalable layout by wiki authors -- the kind
of thing that often messes up mobile view, but can happen on the regular
desktop view as well depending on your window size. Nothing ill-intentioned
in the code, but as your window gets smaller relative to the text size it
gets less and less tenable to lay out a floated table next to a two-column
list.

There are a couple things that can be fixed here:
* drop the floated table entirely, show it inline
* drop the multi-column on the list
* or -- drop the above for smaller screens, while keeping them for larger
screens (with CSS media queries)

CSS media queries can't be done with inline styles, so that needs to
probably switch to a class that can be defined in the global styles.

Ditto.  No problems to report here as far as I can see.

WFM too. If you're convinced it is indeed a mediawiki problem, you
should open a bug with a screenshot attached.

The table on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_family#See_also
overprints itself even with CTRL+0 zoom, not to mention what happens
when one hits CTRL+.
