In the process I found the reference link which is very helpful and shows where you found your tips in your previous email. However, I have not found instruction how to set a column boundary thereby forcing line wrapping. Another way would be to activate a multiple column feature if there is one.

This is a very good point. Generally wikis are not known for beautiful page design and typography; they seem to subscribe to the (rather old-fashioned) idea that viewers browsing the page should apply their own style settings to read comfortably.
That said, and this is probably off-topic, but I find the Readability bookmarklet[1] invaluable nowadays when browsing most article-style web pages, including wikis.
