Wait, are you saying that WMF uses MediaWiki-Vagrant to run the Wikipedias etc? I thought they was not correct.
PS: You are correct that we talked passed each other. PPS: Vagrant or not, the purpose of this question is partly for me to have a working environment, but also partly to understand what config I had done wrong. So I think sticking to the non-Vagrant option would be also better for that reason.
