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. 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". | I finally enabled [[mw:VisualEditor]] on all wikis.
