Summary: some #timel codes incorrectly assume that local time
is still UTC
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
URL: http://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=7174012
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ParserFunctions
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I could not find any variable to print the timezone of {{LOCALTIME}} so I tried
to code one by myself using Parserfunctions and I found that some of the
{{#timel}} codes assume that the time is in UTC even when this is not true, and
this produces an incorrect output:
{{#timel:c}} should print the ISO 8601 formatted date, but it incorrectly
prints a +00:00 timezone creating a false timestamp.
{{#timel:r}} should print the RFC 2822 formatted date, but it always prints a
+0000 timezone. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822 specifies that +0000
precisely means UTC and it also specifies that when the timezone is not sure
and may not be UTC the correct output is -0000.
{{#timel:U}} should print the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00
GMT. This number is incorrect.
You can find my tests in http://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=7174012
