Someone came into #wikimedia-tech a few days ago and asked about something similar to this. The idea was to use site-wide JavaScript to auto-redirect users to https on one of the Chinese Wikipedias. I believe this was in combination with geolocation functionality, but I'm not sure. Do you have any thoughts on individual wikis doing this, assuming there's local community consensus?
