The QEMU wiki runs from the vanilla mediawiki 1.39 container image.
The Vector (2022) theme comes with Mediawiki and there are no
QEMU-specific customizations.
You can get the same look with the vanilla Mediawiki container image
with the following in LocalSettings.php:
$wgDefaultSkin = "vector-2022";
wfLoadSkin('Vector');
Sorry I am not able to fix this quickly myself. I don't have much
Mediawiki knowledge but if you tell me what to do we can certainly
customize QEMU's wiki.
