Given what Ryan Lane said, I think this could be user preference
(possibly tied to whether the user checked the "Always use a secure connection when logged in" box in preferences).
That would be the ideal, but I vaguely remember a previous thread where some objections were raised regarding such a proposal. I can't find it at this time though.
Anyhow, here's the bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39676
Most of that discussion was before we had the preference. Now that we have it, I think we should follow the user's preference, and then specifically not enable this feature on zh/fa/etc where many users won't be able to follow the links.
