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 have no current plans to ever disable HTTP and force the use of HTTPS. I know there was another thread about this on wikimedia-l, but there's no consensus for doing this and at this point isn't something you should worry about.
