[edit]

Despite the name of this setting, it will use whatever object cache you specify in $wgMainCacheType .

If 'true', MemcachedSessions.php is loaded on startup:

This file gets included if $wgSessionsInMemcached is set in the config.
It redirects session handling functions to store their data in the object cache
instead of the local filesystem. Depending on circumstances, it may also
be necessary to change the cookie settings to work across hostnames.
