I think you can confirm it on your site if you add 9:00 to GST and make language
preference to "ja".

Hi, I have just made a Japanese site that Mediawiki is installed on the server
which takes GST as Mediawiki recommend 9 hour adjustment. Though today is
"Sunday, March 18th", it shows "MONDAY, March 18th". It used to show "Sunday,
March 18th" till at least 14:44 JST as the picture on the right shows. The
reason for it is probably that dates and days are differently programmed.
on dates, it is precisely indicated.
on days, they made it just add a day for GST-based servers to JST clients.
as a result, if GST area is on Saturday, it makes JST area on Sunday,which is correct. However once GST area becomes on Sunday, JST area becomes
Monday while the date is precise at JST, just like "Monday, March 18th", 2007.
I think the solution is to make days be calculated from the adjusted time not
calculated from GST time.
thanks
