That's a good question!  I'm not aware of any recent changes that would have made $wgVisualEditorParsoidForwardCookies not necessary, but I *do* recall that we don't use those long-form configuration variable names any more. Latest documentation seems to be at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor#Linking_with_Parsoid_… Hope this helps!  --scott On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 7:25 AM Aran via Wikitech-l &lt;wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>> wrote: Hi, just wondering what the situation is with $wgVisualEditorParsoidForwardCookies these days. The documentation for visual editor says that it's needed if you have a wiki that's not editable by the public. But I've just set it up on such a wiki and editing/saving an article through visual editor works fine without me having set this or allowed anonymous edits by localhost. Is there no longer any need to worry about settings specifically for locked down wikis?
