 <rule
 from="^http://([^@:/]+)\.wik(ipedia|inews|isource|ibooks|iquote|iversity|tionary)\.org/w/index\.php\?title="
           to="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wik$2/$1/wiki/"/>

 in Wikipedia.xml (of HTTPS Everywhere 0.9.2) doesn't match, apparently
 because

   <rule
 from="^http://([^@:/]+)\.wik(ipedia|inews|isource|ibooks|iquote|iversity|tionary)\.org/(w|wiki)/"
           to="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wik$2/$1/$3/"/>

 matches first. The matching rule does work, so it's probably not a big
 deal, but still the unused one takes up space - perhaps the rule sanity
 checks could be extended to catch this case?
