\maketitle

The \textsf{a4wide} package redefines the margins so that they are more in line with what we are used to see.
It was written by Jean-François Lamy in July 1986 and minimally modified for \LaTeXe\ by Alexander Holt, August 1994.
Depending on the base font size, it modifies the margins as follows:
%
\begin{center}
  \begin{tabular}{@{}S[tabformat=2]S[tabformat=2]S[tabformat=1.3]S[tabformat=1.3]S[tabformat=1.2]@{}}
    \toprule
    {Base font}          & {Number of lines} & {Width of}               & {Width of left and}         & {Width of}                    \\
    {size (\si{\point})} & {in page body}    & {text line (\si{\inch})} & {right margin (\si{\inch})} & {marginal notes (\si{\inch})} \\
    \midrule
    10                   & 53                & 5.875                    & 0.25                        & 0.75                          \\
    11                   & 46                & 6.125                    & 0.125                       & 0.75                          \\
    12                   & 42                & 6.375                    & 0                           & 0.75                          \\
