+The solution given here [[phabricator:T270376#7365202]] after the breakthrough discovery [[phabricator:T270376#7364419]] by Func needed to be tweaked also with <code>AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode</code> to stop the [[mw:VisualEditor]] REST 404 errors exhibiting when trying to edit subpages. Adding <code>AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode</code> to the Apache 2.4 config inside of the <VirtualHost>-directive seems to yield a completely functioning VisualEditor setup.
+This advice I found in [[mw:Extension:VisualEditor#Allowing VisualEditor on page titles containing slashes]] after it was kindly pointed out by an irc-goer in #mediawiki. So the documentation has been improved lately.
+So two configuration changes to Apache2 were needed to successfully enable VisualEditor:
+<pre>
+   AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
+</pre>
+for VE to work with URL's with slashes in them
+<pre>
+   RewriteEngine On
+   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
+   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
+   RewriteRule ^(?:(?!rest.php/).)*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
+</pre>
+for REST traffic to work as intended and naturally also short URLs working (MediaWiki is residing in w/ and wiki URL is /wiki/) and no more REST 404 errors at all.

-I finally enabled [[mw:VisualEditor]] on all wikis. Some REST 404 problems seem to still exhibit, mainly when trying to edit exactly this article in user-space.
+I finally enabled [[mw:VisualEditor]] on all wikis. I'm still getting REST 404 errors with VisualEditor, but I have verified that those exhibit '''only when trying to edit a subpage'''. When trying to edit a subpage with VE, it fails with REST 404 when loading the VE, but if trying to create a subpage with VE it fails only after the final "save page".
 This is an matter of importance, because mobile users have been unable to edit any pages due to an issue with [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit]] and [[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]] not quite playing catch with each other.

 '''Thank yous''' to '''Func''' for solving this for us and [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Kghbln/ '''Kghbln'''] for asking the question in [[phabricator:T270376]] and thanks to Bob, who brought to my attention the problem that mobile users were unable to edit wiki.
