Steps

A wiki's Flamingo Theme is opened for editing from the administration of that wiki, not from the administration of a page.

  1. Administer your wiki.
  2. Select "Look & Feel", then "Themes", and click "Customize" beside the "Color theme" field.

FAQ

Which theme does "Customize" open?

The one the wiki is using, named in the field beside the button. On a new wiki that is "Iceberg".

Does customizing a theme change anything else?

Yes. Every page using that theme is restyled, not just the one you came from. To restyle one branch of the wiki only, give it a theme of its own: page administration selects the theme a page and its children use, but it cannot customize one.

How do I keep the theme as it is?

Create a theme instead of editing the one in use: follow "Manage color themes" under the "Color theme" field, then "Create new Theme". Customize that one, and select it when it is ready.
