Following last year's Native HTTPS efforts¹, I've pushed a change² today that redirects all the old secure.wikimedia.org URLs to the respective native HTTPS ones, e.g. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Main_Page gets redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Does anyone know if EFF's HTTPS Everywhere extension is set up to redirect to secure.wikimedia.org? If so, someone might want to let them know that we've made this change.
I'll volunteer to do so if no one else wishes to.
HTTPS Everywhere is currently set up to redirect using the native HTTPS support (http://en.wp -> https://en.wp); it used to support redirects to secure.wikimedia.org, but Roan Kattouw and Sam Reed updated it quite a while ago. secure.wm.org never supported HTTP and secure.wm.org HTTPS gets redirected by our redirects without any privacy loss, so there's nothing to add to HTTPS Everywhere that I can see.
Thanks for the offer though.

PS. Fun fact: HTTPS Everywhere's git master already has rules for Wikidata & Wikivoyage, thanks to the always awesome Reedy.
