Maybe there's a comparison to be made, but there's not really a simple way
to disable VE in MediaWiki other than by having a preference.
I suppose the closest comparison to the Firefox situation would be if
the preference still functioned but was not shown on
Special:Preferences. Power users could still set the preference via
the API, which would be more or less the equivalent of using
about:config in Firefox.
