| Duplicate | None | T96844 Update TLS/HTTP documentation on wikitech | |||
| Resolved | BCornwall | T240813 HTTPS/Browser Recommendations page on Wikitech is outdated |
This task has been open since 2015 and the Wikitech HTTPS documentation is still in need of improvement. While the HTTPS pages on Wikitech have been updated since then, the HTTPS requirements on Wikimedia sites are undergoing a large change due to T238038.
Other OTRS agents and I have noticed this issue while dealing with various complaints about the deprecation warning. One ticket I handled needed more technical information about the requirements because they thought their systems supported TLS 1.2. That information was not easy to find or complete. Another agent handled a ticket with a complaint that HTTPS/Browser Recommendations § Network Security Matters said they could still read pages when they were being prevented from doing so.
Because the information that should be on these pages is not readily available, they need to be updated by someone who knows how HTTPS is configured on Wikimedia sites.
The swap of Traffic for Traffic-Icebox in this ticket's set of tags was based on a bulk action for all such tickets that haven't been updated in 6 months or more. This does not imply any human judgement about the validity or importance of the task, and is simply the first step in a larger task cleanup effort. Further manual triage and/or requests for updates will happen this month for all such tickets. For more detail, have a look at the extended explanation on the main page of Traffic-Icebox . Thank you!
Even though this is the older ticket, marking as a dupe of T240813 since that had more relevant information.
