Description:
Hi, this is protection log (example):

14:37, 13. listopada 2009. Dalibor Bosits (Razgovor | doprinosi | blokiraj) članak "Wikipedija:Stranica za vježbanje" je zaštićen [edit=autoconfirmed] (istječe 13:37, 13. listopada 2009. (UTC)) [move=autoconfirmed] (istječe 13:37, 13. listopada 2009. (UTC)) ‎ (ovo je test (1 sat)) (pov | promijeni stupanj zaštite)

This example page is protected at 14:37, with expiry of 1 hour. In the log it says it will expire at 13:37, instead 15:37.

Expiry is it seems defined by server time (at that time server time was 12:37), and local time at hr.wikipedia is UTC+2

This does not affect actual protection time, only expiry time displayed. Can it be fixed?

That log entry seems to correctly mark the expiry time as UTC, which is correct... but it probably ought to be using the server default time as used for signatures etc.

Or better yet, format those using end-user timestamp... but this would require changing the log format to list the times and data out, then format them at view time. (Currently that whole chunk is built at save time, eg '[edit=autoconfirmed] (istječe 13:37, 13. listopada 2009. (UTC)) [move=autoconfirmed] (istječe 13:37, 13. listopada 2009. (UTC))')
