Default wire gages and rewinding motors

I have been researching wire diameters for rewinding 6v to 12v. There have been many posts on this and they all seem to be saying we should use twice the turns and half the wire DIAMETER. A write up in Wikipedia says we should be using half the CIRCULAR AREA of the wire if we want to half the current capacity. Does anyone have an opinion on this?
