The sticky table of contents on the left is wonderful, but I think proportionally equivalent whitespace on the right is what throws my eyes off. Wikipedia is not Medium; creating a linear narrative reading experience is not nearly as important as being able to skim through an article for highlights and figures. Now with all the whitespace, the pages are so much taller that you have to scroll and scroll just to see what's going on.

I do admit that decreasing the information density does encourage users to read every word of the introduction, which I usually tend to skip over. Hopefully the Wiki community manages to settle on a design with the best of both sides.
