If a high-privileged person on the Wiki was able to edit this skin (I do not have a Wiki account and I know little about how these technical intricacies work), they can easily fix the issue by changing the ”http“ to ”https" where they are referenced.

I discovered this with a few minutes of digging in the Inspect Element dev tools. Here is the CSS file generated by the offending skin, in case it may be of any help:

Why would the gradients be from Runescape?
Uuugh.. so what do I do? I'm a new wikian so yeah I can't do that thing, bt I think Bigpuppy is so you can tell him. And I didn't understand a word you just said xD I'm bad at that kind of stuff. :p

You don’t really need to do anything. The scratch wiki is not trying to steal your data or anything, there is just a image under a http connection.

Actually that makes me/people feel safer and makes Scratch more friendly, I think it's necessary (in my opinion) that this gets fixed. Well I just pointed it out, lets see if someone will fix it.

I changed “http” to “https” in the image loads in MediaWiki:Common.css, a CSS file that applies to all Scratch Wiki pages. Thank you for pointing it out! Did that fix it?

I didn't expect bigpuppy to find this, but the page no longer shows “Not Secure”.
