Correct. It can be disabled only as far as being the wikia's default editor is concerned. Users' personal preferences will always override that, as well as simply selecting the VE from the Edit-dropdown.

FWIW, on every other wikia I administrate, I have it disabled. I still have to clean up the gawd-awful coding from Users' Editor-of-preference (which most probably don't even know they can change or what it really means).

Bottom line, it only really makes a difference for those who are older and more experienced power-users. And barely so, as most of them tend to use Source as their pref'd default.
