My phone's homepage is set to https://en.wikipedia.org/ . Yesterday I noticed for the first time that the redirect to the mobile site sends you to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ regardless of whether or not you used http or https to begin with.
I'm not sure if this is the right list for this (as I'm not on any other lists, so I don't know their culture and scopes as well), but I believe that it is on topic.
Thank you,

This is a known -- and very unfortunate -- problem with the mobile redirect: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35215
If you go straight to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ it should remain on the secure site.
