Summary: EXIF date prefill does not deal with insane dates well
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: UploadWizard
AssignedTo: ne...@wikimedia.org

If it encounter an EXIF value like DateTimeDigitized: "0000:00:00 00:00:00" it
parses the date wrong.
For this value, we get Nov 30, 1899.
This suggests we are blindly using the numbers given, with offsets for the
month (this is year zero, 1900, and month 0 == month -1, day 0 = day -1, at
midnight).
Solution (?) check dates for sanity before prefilling. Year, month, and day of
zero are all impossible.
