This is how it should look like, since XWiki 8.2 http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/ReleaseNotes/ ReleaseNotesXWiki82RC1/WebHome/defaultWysiwygEditorConfig.png . So your administration UI (i.e. wiki pages) has not been upgraded property. You're missing at least the "Default WYSIWYG Editor" drop down and the "Syntaxes" configuration section (on the left).
it doesn't look like that :-(
As ckeditor shows as "Installed as a dependency", how might I go about upgrading it properly ?
You cannot upgrade it in 8.4.1 ( http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1570 ) but 1.10 is the latest version ATM anyway. The problem you have, most probably, is that it wasn't upgraded correctly to this 1.10 version, and since you're also missing stuff from the administration it looks like the problem is more general: the upgrade to XWiki 8.4.1 was not done correctly (at least for the UI part). Did you use the Distribution Wizard to upgrade the wiki pages? You probably had merge conflicts which were not resolved correctly (either by Extension Manager or by the person that did the upgrade).
I'm fairly sure that there were no obvious issues when using the distribution wizard last time (so much nicer then it used to be). When I tried an update to 8.4.4, there were some merge conflicts, and on each of them I chose to not merge and not keep the old.
The screengrabs in the links were taken after I had upgraded to 8.4.4, I have since reverted it to the (offline) snapshot of the database server and xwiki server I took before the upgrade (the joy of virtualisation :-)
Should I try importing the 8.4.1 admin .war and see if that fixes it ?
You can try to import the 8.4.1 (or 8.4.4, depends which version you're on) administration XAR (not WAR) http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-administra... . It will probably fix the administration but I'm afraid you may have other pages (outside the administration) that are in the same situation.
I realised the war/xar mistake just as I clicked send... I imported the .xar, and now in edit mode it shows default wysiwyg editor as well as default edit mode, the only options for default wysiwyg edit are "---" and "GWT" Attempting to use CKEditor to edit a page has had no change. As at least the edit mode shows default wysiwyg editor, I will try another update to 8.4.4 and see if it improves matters, but if you have any other suggestions on what might be tried, I would be very happy to try them.
