I work with mediawiki 1.23 and the extension MathJax is installed and required into my local setting

  In one page is written this formula ː  blabla....... \[(a+b)^3=(a+b)(a+b)^2\] blabla...

  OK ː If I am connect as wikiSysop the display is correct (about 3 lines as
       blabla.....
              the formula with the correct exposant in the middle of the line
       blabla.....

  NOK ː if I am not connected (anonymous) or connect as another user (chantoune)
        The display shows the syntax as written when I am in page edit

To solve this NOK case ː I have to install also the Extension Math (1465 files ǃǃadd ) and just add the line requiring Math in my local setting (no texvc compilation and so on.....)

So now, when I am not connected or connected as chantoune ː the display is correct (3 lines)

Is there a more simple solution ?
with for instance a specific $wgGroupPermissions['*'] to set ?

Why when I am wikiSysop connected, the extension Math is not mandatory to have a correct display ?
and why is it mandatory in other case ?

No, there does not seem to be another solution - at least not right now. MathJax is used in combination with the Math extension. Extension:MathJax has more information on the current state.

The difference between being logged as sysop or not may be that you have set something different in your preferences that allows rendering math, and that's different from the default value.

I have install the new release 1.23.2

and When I am connected as WikiSysop all is OK when I am not connected or connected as user it is NOK

my local setting

require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";
// Set this if you don't use MediaWiki Math's texvc:
$wgTexvc =  './extensions/Math/math/texvc';
require_once("$IP/extensions/MathJax/MathJax.php");

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['viewmywatchlist'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyprivateinfo'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyusercss'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyuserjs'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmywatchlist'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['writeapi'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['viewmyprivateinfo'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['bypasstoscheck'] = false;

Under the preference menu of user or wikisysop, I have the same thing in "appearence for Math" The checkbox produce a PNG image is checked and the other checkbox about original Tex code is unchecked

When I am connect as Wikisysop many logs are displayed at the bottom of my firefox like:

Loading[MatJax]/jax/Output/HTML-CSS/jax.js
Loading[MatJax]/jax/Output/autoload/mtable.js
Processing math 56%....

They appears also when I refresh the screen (F5)

But nothing is loaded when I am not connected or connected as user
