Comment:

 I do not know of RFCs or something, but it is just good practise to use
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol-relative_URL protocol-relative
 links] if the target page is reachable via http and https. It even saves
 space. ;-)

 What a page should not do is to open a page via http if the clicked link
 shows https, because the user might prefer to not open the page via http.

 Scope? Hmm, its end is a bit blurry, yes. But the it mentions a few
 specific, prominent high-traffic links which should be changed. After this
 bug could be closed. On a second thought: if one would e.g. search through
 all interface code and replace all http links then this bug would be
 finished completely.
