Yes, that sounds good. The quickest would be for you to: 1. Run https://hub.docker.com/_/mediawiki/ in a container on your machine. 2. Adjust the theme CSS until you are happy. 3. Send me the tweaks and I will apply them to wiki.qemu.org. If you don't have time, I'll add this to my todo list but no guarantees when I'm able to do it. Thanks, Stefan
