If you're trying to get rid of the (horrid) default editor that ships with the latest version of MediaWiki (in 2015) and use shiny stuff like VisualEditor, here's a tip that might save two days of your time.
VisualEditor needs to communicate with a backend that does actual parsing, which in this case, is Parsoid (nodejs package), but for reasons unknown the latest version of Parsoid (v0.4.x) does not work with the latest version of VisualEditor (for MediaWiki 1.25.3, which was released in October 2015 and is already deemed legacy… just PHP things).
One must check out (using git, for example) v0.3.0 of Parsoid, for VisualEditor to be able to communicate with it (when it comes to actual parsing of pages).
