I managed to fix wikitech-static as well (albeit manually). Why does it even have HTTPS support btw ? Resolving

URGH, so even the replacement intermediary isnt really SHA256. I apologize, I should have caught this issue at the time of replacement!

I'll go through and point the right intermediary cert at the systems I've upgraded the rapidssl certs on, however the end result now is since the intermediary is still sha1 (for sha256 certs, nice rapidssl), we'll need to replace the certs outright in the long run.

it seems etherpad was fixed when rt was fixed (same system, and now pulling the cert with openssl shows proper intermediary.)

This is a myth. "RapidSSL SHA256 CA - G3" is definitely SHA256. The other intermediate is for compatibility with older clients such as XP/Server 2003 (but note that XP has root certificate update enabled by default).
