How to enable MediaWiki's new Visual Editor? [closed]

Tags:

php

mediawiki

I've been using the default MediaWiki's built-in WikiEditor, but I found about this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor:Test

I can't find where it says what do I need to do to get it running. Do I need some configuration properties on my LocalSettings.php file?

As with other changes made using the visual editor, you must publish the entire page in order to publish your work. The powerful MediaWiki template system lets you insert dynamic content, text from other pages, and much more. For a detailed explanation and examples, see the Templates help page.
