VisualEditor – Operator Summary

This page provides a short operational overview of how VisualEditor works on this MediaWiki installation. It is intended for day‑to‑day administrators who need a quick reference without reading the full technical documentation.

Status

VisualEditor is enabled and fully functional.
No special reverse‑proxy rules are required.
No Parsoid service is running externally; MediaWiki uses its built‑in REST interface.
If MediaWiki works with clean URLs, VisualEditor works as well.

Key Files

All configuration lives in: LocalSettings.php
The VisualEditor block is clearly marked between:

 * #---VisualEditor -----------  
 * #---end VisualEditor --------------

What to Check After Upgrades

/rest.php loads without errors.
/api.php loads normally.
Editing a page opens VisualEditor.
Saving works without warnings.
Browser console shows no REST or CORS errors.

If all of the above succeed, VisualEditor is healthy.

When Problems Occur

VisualEditor stuck on loading:

 Check browser console → REST errors usually indicate /rest.php not reachable.

403/404 errors:

 Check Apache vhost and SELinux (if enforcing).

Mixed content warnings:

 Ensure $wgServer uses https://mwiki.costasano.club.
