I have a Palm Centro with a Blazer browser. As of about a month ago I could no longer view wikipedia articles. Please restore compatibility. Thank you.

Does Blazer support HTTPS? HTTPS is now required to access (English) Wikipedia, for your own improved safety.

Blazer dates from 2008 so I think it's unlikely to support HTTPS. Was this policy to require HTTPS implemented within the last 2 months? If so, could there be a reconsideration for old phones so that they still work?

See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS - due to security concerns, it was not possible to leave an option for opting out. You may want to consider upgrading to a recent and more secure browser.
