Bug #: 29895
Summary: Import accepts timestamps lying in the future
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Export/Import
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When exporting pages from a wiki where the local server clock doesn't work
right and you have a data which lays in the future, e.g. year 2020, and you
import this in another wiki where the clock works normal, the wiki won't change
the timestamp.
This is illogical since there can't be any revision made in a future date so in
my opinion the timestamp should be set to the current timestamp when importing.
The future timestamp is causing some confusions in the page history as well.
The revision is always listed on top even if there is a newer revision when the
text was updated after the import.
