Thank all who took care of the topic. In the moment I am waiting for a response 
by the server admin. Will be back as soon as I know more myself...

There was no mention of his setup, host he was using, if he had a SSL cert, if 
no SSL cert (host misconfiguration?), https login only, etc... 
how many links? 5 or 50.

Did you set $wgServer ? Canonicals should always point to what you prefer in 
indexing, http or https? Are both the https and http page versions both 
indexed? Double indexing same content hurts Google rankings. Same as http://www 
vs. http:// would.

Google should not index https unless https is available. So, Mark was long term 
best suggestion of finding and updating the links to https. 
Pretty easy to find who is linking to the pages.  50 links? If there are a lot, 
bigger issue.

I would say at this point, Bernhard, we need more information.

Tom
