I keep getting redirected to https://samarium.wikimedia.org/ by HTTPS Everywhere in Chrome. It'd be nice if this worked.
We're working on it but this is not a high priority. Alternatively you can file a bug with the EFF for making software that doesn't actually work in 100% of cases and doesn't gracefully degrade.

Good to know. > Alternatively you can file a bug with the EFF for making software that > doesn't actually work in 100% of cases and doesn't gracefully degrade. I believe Roan has worked on this on GitHub. I think they accept pull requests. We provided some of the rules at some point, but surely we didn't tell them that everything under *.wikimedia.org would support HTTPS. Perhaps the rules need tweaking here or the fallback logic needs a once-over or there's not enough reporting to the user or something. I agree that it should be investigated. This bug is about the Wikimedia side of things.

They're here: https://git.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git Rules are in src/chrome/content/rules/Wikimedia.xml It expects all Wikimedia hosts to support HTTPS except the ones covered by the exclusion patterns: ^http://(apt|bayes|bayle|brewster|bug-attachment|commonsprototype\.tesla\.usability|commons\.prototype|cs|cz|dataset2|de\.prototype|download|dumps|ekrem|emery|en\.prototype|ersch|etherpad|flaggedrevssandbox|flgrevsandbox|gallium|ganglia|ganglia3|harmon|hume|ipv4\.labs|ipv6and4\.labs|jobs|mlqt\.tesla\.usability|mobile\.tesla\.usability|m|nagios|oldusability|project2|prototype|results\.labs|search|shop|sitemap|snapshot3|stafford|stats|status|test\.prototype|torrus|ubuntu|wiki-mail|yongle|wikitech|wlm)\.wikimedia\.org ^http://(static|download)\.wikipedia\.org/
