This suggests the best thing we can do about this style of censorship is default SSL for all. Which won't be cheap, but would serve our editors well. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
