I keep getting redirected to https://samarium.wikimedia.org/ by HTTPS Everywhere in Chrome. It'd be nice if this worked.

Okay. Good to know.

I believe Roan has worked on this on GitHub. I think they accept pull requests. We provided some of the rules at some point, but surely we didn't tell them that everything under *.wikimedia.org would support HTTPS. Perhaps the rules need tweaking here or the fallback logic needs a once-over or there's not enough reporting to the user or something. I agree that it should be investigated.
This bug is about the Wikimedia side of things.

They're here: https://git.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git
Rules are in src/chrome/content/rules/Wikimedia.xml
It expects all Wikimedia hosts to support HTTPS except the ones covered by the exclusion patterns:
