Thanks for the reply.

I had purchased the domain/hosting purely to test MW before I do a demo for a company to install a private instance.

Hence, the setup is as basic as it could be. Nothing has been modified beyond the defaults.


Yours truly,

My impression has been that if you have the simplest possible setup,
then everything does work out-of-the-box.

But if you have configured any of many reasonable things (e.g. you have
some hardened security settings, or you're running multiple wikis, or
you have a caching proxy in front of your site), then you might also
need to configure VisualEditor with that in mind.

Unfortunately our documentation for configuring VisualEditor is lacking.
You could probably consider that a bug, even if most of the issues being
reported don't actually require any code changes on our side to fix.
