Wikimedia used to have a designated secure server (2005–2011) that was used for accessing Wikimedia projects with an encrypted connection. In 2011, all the main web server addresses at Wikimedia started supporting encrypted connections. In 2013, encryption became the default for logged-in users. As of 2015, unencrypted access is no longer possible. Refer to the "HTTPS" article at Meta-Wiki for more information about the current state of encryption on Wikimedia projects.
This page reflects the historical state from the time that encryption was optional.
