Details
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.
