 Thanks for the feedback!

 [attachment:2574.one-template.patch] implements comment:10. Seems to work
 for [attachment:2574.one-column-centered.png simple one-column content],
 but a [attachment:2574.two-columns-centered.png more complex page] gets
 shifted to the right, because narrow layout doesn't really allow for any
 kind of in-page navigation, and it looks a bit weird when that navigation
 starts in the middle of the screen.

 I'd still like to have some flexibility here:
 * Not every support page can be trimmed down to a single column without a
 navigation.
 * Some pages make more sense as a part of the forums layout and navigation
 rather than standalone content.
 * Some content doesn't fit well in a narrow column.

 It would probably help if we could create custom menus on forum pages, but
 there's no such option at the moment.

 For now, could we have three page templates to address the most popular
 use cases? They'll have the same font size and style, just different
 layout:
 1. Default `page.php` template for simple one-column content:
 [attachment:2574.one-column-centered.png].
 2. A template with a forums sidebar for forum-related pages:
 [attachment:2574.one-column-with-sidebar.png].
 3. A full-width template for wider content with navigation, e.g.
 handbooks: [attachment:2574.two-columns-full-width.png].

 [attachment:2574.multiple-templates.patch] implements that. Any
 objections?
