I've been installing a local copy of MediaWiki with the Math extension and MathJax enabled. Looking at the preferences Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering the MathJax option appears twice: once as radio button and once as a check box.
I've a clean install using
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/Math.git
and a git clone of the latest mediawiki.
my LocalSettings.php is pretty much copied direct from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math
require_once( "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php" );
Set this if you don't use MediaWiki Math's texvc:
$wgTexvc = '/your/path/to/texvc';
Be sure to have a math directory with writing
permission and that these two variables are set or
// default to that directory:
$wgMathDirectory = $wgScriptPath . '/mathCache';
$wgMathPath = 'http://localhost/~rich/mediawiki/mathCache';
$wgMathValidModes[] = MW_MATH_MATHJAX; adding MathJax as rendering option
or
$wgMathValidModes = array( MW_MATH_MATHJAX ); setting MathJax as only rendering option (optional)
$wgUseMathJax = true; enabeling MathJax as rendering option
$wgDefaultUserOptions['mathJax'] = true; setting MathJax as default rendering option (optional)
I think this may relate to
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/127607/
Also if I change the rendering options to
$wgMathValidModes[] = MW_MATH_MATHJAX; adding MathJax as rendering option
or
$wgMathValidModes = array( MW_MATH_MATHJAX ); setting MathJax as only rendering option (optional)
