MultimediaViewer: External URLs inconsistent in "use this file" tool
completed by: Vldandrew
mentors: Andre Klapper, Quim Gil
MultimediaViewer is a MediaWiki extension that gives the user of a wiki a slightly nicer interface for viewing full-size, or nearly full-size, images in their browser without extraneous page loads or confusing interstitial pages. It is currently a beta feature deployed in all Wikimedia sites.
Currently it has this little problem:
The link URL is protocol-relative, the image src is always https. Given that we want to encourage safe browsing of Wikimedia sites, I would go with https for both.
