[HTTPS-E Rulesets] bug in the wikipedia rule

Greg, you have made a little mistake, Wikipedia's address not

*https://www.en.wikipedia.org
*

*it is supposed to be
**https://en.wikipedia.org <https://www.en.wikipedia.org>*

websites can have only one subdomain in an address, so Firefox throws an error

because it cannot find Wikipedia at "www.en.*" and it doesn't
recognise that there
has been a typo. It thinks that a hacker is impersonating the website. It is
simply listing the subdomains that exist on the website so that you can choose

which one you want.

 *.wikipedia.org means that you can type in any supported subdomain such as
 www.wikipedia.org

 or
 jp.wikipedia.org

 or
 en.wikipedia.org

you'll want to use
*https://en.wikipedia.org <https://www.en.wikipedia.org>

*

*I hope this has cleared things up!
