Q: Help has non-HTTPS links in it

StormblessedPages within the help center have many non-HTTPS links on them. Many of the ones to questions seem to have been updated, but there are non-HTTPS links to the Stack Overflow blog on Don't Ask, links to Area 51 and the main domain of stackexchange.com on On-Topic, a link to a Main Meta on Closed Q...

@Glorfindel I will just mention that http to https on that page was fixed (for most links) here on MathOverflow rather recently.

I'd guess that it is better to use https, if available. (I suppose that this isn't problem only here, see this post: Help has non-HTTPS links in it. But since the page is being edited anyway, perhaps it's natural to fix this, too.) — Martin Sleziak May 6 at 18:02
