Time zone

[timboehde]

According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgLocalTZoffset, you have to add this:

$wgLocaltimezone = '<whatever we have it set to>';
// Set to timezone offset in minutes as calculated by PHP
$wgLocalTZoffset = date('Z') / 60;

otherwise {{CURRENTTIME}} and other magic words default to UTC. This formatting accounts for DST.

This is lowest priority.

Now that the wiki has more international coverage, would there still be a preference for a particular time zone other than UTC? The timestamps in the interface are configurable by user preference, and there are gadgets for dynamically adapting talk page signatures to the local time too, so the main impact is when things like the Main Page cut over to the new day’s featured content.
