To enable the VisualEditor in a wiki on the Biowikifarm, add the following line to the LocalSettings.php of that wiki
require_once("$IP/../../MediaWiki_VisualEditor_Settings.php");
Note: sometimes the path has to be adjusted if the directory structure of the wiki is different from the default. It needs to be the same relative path as for inclusion of MediaWikiCommonSettings_REL1_26.php
By default the VisualEditor not enabled even if installed, the users have to enable it in the settings themselves in their preferences. - add the following line, to have it enabled by default
$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;
- add the following line for closed wikis, where you need to log in, in order to view the pages
$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid']['forwardCookies'] = true;
Problems
- wrong extension link
ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Mar 29 2016 extensions -> /usr/share/mediawiki26/extensions-simple-features
mv extensions extensions_simple ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki26/extensions-rich-features/ extensions

(old nodes, clean up later) Notes on the installation of the Visual Editor:
1. Links
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-VisualEditor
- http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/VisualEditor - useful installation notes
Caveats:
- It requires a separately installed https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid
- It certainly does not run on the presently installed wiki version
- It may need a wmf-forked version of 1.25 to work well.
- In fact, it may be desirable to install a wmf-forked version, but this version does not easily work normally.
2. Actual process on biowikifarm
Please record every commandline executed here, so it can easily be transferred on the second server:
