I'm not talking about right now. Right now is okay (consensuses of the community because of availability of SSL of WMF projects since August 25 in Iran) to enable SSL as default like other countries and I'm asking to do that, but I'm saying do this if you don't enforce editors to use SSL by hiding the option in preference
I'm talking about stance of Persian Wikipedia about switching whole traffic of the site and shutting down http:// in future too. This action will drop number of readers in Iran by 95-99% you'll loose almost all of readers. It's a "safety vs. accessibility" issue and I'm saying this much concern about safety will cause enormous lack of accessibility in Iran

We are not proposing to shut of http://, we are proposing to require it for nearly all logins.
Normal user browsing will not be affected. Reader experience will be unaffected.
Editors have more reason to use https there than almost anywhere.
