Aklapper renamed this task from after installing extension ConfirmAccount i get error, when requesting an account to Error: Call to a member function timeanddate() on null when requesting an account.Jun 14 2021, 4:35 PM

That line says $wgContLang->timeanddate( $expiration, false ),

I am also getting this error. It would appear $wgContLang got completely removed - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgContLang - and that could possibly be part of this error.

Aklapper renamed this task from Error: Call to a member function timeanddate() on null when requesting an account to Error: Call to a member function timeanddate() on null when requesting an account (due to $wgContLang removed in MW 1.36).Jul 10 2021, 8:21 PM

This has already been fixed in 40738dbfd0fa, but it hasn’t been backported to the MW 1.36 branch.

@Umherirrender: Do you think it's worth to backport your patch to 1.36?
