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.
