To clarify,  can be used on a page-by-page basis to disable the visual editor. It is intended to be used rarely, on specific pages that contain complex formatting. Generally speaking, complex code should be in templates rather than on pages themselves, so you should not feel a need to use this too often.

There is no way to disable the visual editor on a wiki-wide scale. It is an integral part of the Wikia user interface and Wikia does not support any option for disabling it.

If you wish to disable the visual editor for just yourself, you can do so in Special:Preferences.
