--- Comment #12 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #7) > MZM: Where are users saying https doesn't work for them? I don't see any > other unaddressed concerns about implementing this bug or the related bugs. As Ryan says in comment 8, some people seem unable to support HTTPS for whatever reason. This matches my experience switching daily-article-l (<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/daily-article-l>) to use HTTPS links; out of 30,000-ish subscribers, a handful wrote in to say that they couldn't access the site any longer. Wikimedia wikis are much too large to not hit the law of large numbers: some percentage of our users will be unable to access the site over HTTPS. I don't think we currently know what percentage that is. (In reply to comment #5) > In order to get this bug moving forward, it would be good to have an > associated wiki page or list here on Bugzilla of what needs to be done first. > This bug's current "see also"s seem like a good start toward this. QFT. In addition to the steps Ryan helpfully lays out in comment 8, I'd add "assessment of the impact of forced HTTPS for anons" somewhere in there, as I think we still don't fully know just how many people such an action would affect. Additional information and data points would be helpful. I'm thinking that an [[mw:RFC]] or page on the Wikitech wiki would make sense here (to be clear: not to assess whether to implement some of these changes or not, simply to assess technical options to move forward [comment 8 in wiki form, basically]). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
