Bug ID: 68872
Summary: (mw.language:formatDate) Return table if format is
"*t"
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified

I found that frequently I need to get time table (a table with fields "year",
"month", ...) of a timestamp in the wiki's local time. It is not possible to
obtain this table via os.date() because the function can't accept timestamp as
a parameter, and the function also can't deal with the wiki's local time. The
workaround is to do something like:
timetable = {
year = tonumber(lang:formatDate(...)),
month = tonumber(lang:formatDate(...)),
day = tonumber(lang:formatDate(...)),
hour = tonumber(lang:formatDate(...)),
...
}
which is redundant and ridiculous. I therefore propose that timetable can be
obtained via lang:formatDate('*t', timestamp, local).
