You're both right.  There is an HTTPS version of Wiktionary if
you specify the language, but the current behavior if you use
www.wiktionary.org is a bug because the treatment isn't
parallel to the other Wikimedia Foundation wikis.  We can add
an exclusion for that.

But if you're already familiar with the Wikimedia project you
want, you should normally specify the language in the URL,
like pt.wikipedia.org, de.wiktionary.org, es.wikisource.org,
and so on.  HTTPS Everywhere does handle all of those
cases correctly, as far as we know.
