Hey,
Some people reported that they have trouble labelling edits in wikilabels
[1] (specially for Wikidata and that's why I'm cross-posting to wikidata-l
too). That was due to the fact that wikilabels is behind a proxy on cloud
VPS which confuses the application and sometimes it thinks the request is
made over HTTP and changes the links/redirects to http instead of https and
basically jumping over to SSL and not-SSL continuously causing OAuth
redirect loops (because cookies can't jump around like requests). There
were several options but the most secure and sane one was to enforce SSL
and tell the application to consider everything as SSL request.
This would solve lots of bugs and issues in wikilabels. We apologize for
any inconvenience caused by it. It was difficult to understand the
underlying problem because it was happening for some people and not all and
was hard to reproduce the bug.
Also, If you encounter any (new) issue, Please let me know immediately.
