Summary: Retire 'Wikipedia Day' from Preferences Date and Time
page, and just use current time
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
In Preferences one is offered the choices of
16:12, January 15, 2001
16:12, 15 January 2001
16:12, 2001 January 15
2001-01-15T16:12:34
Which are all apparently from
$epoch = '20010115161234'; # Wikipedia day
of Preferences.php.
I would like to propose that you just use the current date and time,
instead of Wikipedia day.
It wouldn't hurt anybody, and it would be a big help for users of bug 18849
type calendars (Taiwan, Japan, N. Korea), where one could see at a
glance the year is indeed what one expects, instead of having to calculate
if it is indeed the right match for way back in 2001.
As for "what current time", well, I suppose give the best estimate of
the user's local time based on what he has told us so far.
