how come there is no "appearance" button on the English wikipedia? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The "appearance" button seen on Dutch wikipedia is able to change the SIZE of the font (text) and the width of the article. This is extremely nice to have, but it's not there on any English article...

using the browser zoom makes the layout narrower again, as if it's actively trying to reverse the wide layout by the button in the bottom right. It makes the page very weird looking. Just far from ideal.

EDIT: it's also very inconvenient since my browser saves the zoom level per website (not between en.wikipedia and nl.wikipedia) so the zoom would always be off when going from one article to one in the other language.
