Description

In order to switch the wiki to https only, we need to rewrite all hotlinked images to a URL that is served over https.

Additionally, it would be great to use something like https://github.com/aaronpk/ca3db which archives a snapshot of the image that is hotlinked so that if the URL disappears we can still show the image on the wiki.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the wiki currently stores and renders hotlinked image URLs; no source files or tests are identified in the issue. Evaluate the proposed ca3db-style archival proxy and define completion as all hotlinked images being served over HTTPS with an archived fallback when their original URLs disappear.
