Change time zone setting in Banjar Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello there,

Long after the Banjar Wikipedia was released, there are some local settings that have not been implemented. One of them is setting the time zone. Based on the information I received, the time zone setting on Wikipedia Banjar, which was originally supposed to be UTC+8 (Asia/Makassar), now still uses UTC+7. The configuration was defined long ago, but was not implemented during the wiki creation ([[T27307]]).

We really appreciate any help changing the settings.

Hello @Ezagren yes, actually is set to "Asia/Bangkok". Since it's been so long, would you mind opening a discussion on wiki and waiting a week? Thanks.

Hi Superpes15. I see in T27307 that it has been specified from the beginning that Wikipedia Banjar uses WITA (UTC+8). WITA stands for Central Indonesian Time, which refers specifically to Asia/Makassar as the WITA timezone. Is it still necessary to open another round of discussion about the proposed update? It might be useful to follow the example of a recent ticket here: T327986. Thank you.

Hi @Rachmat04! The fact is that in the gorwiktionary ticket there was already a recent discussion onwiki (metawiki request), in this case there isn't (at least, I can't see it). Also on original request, I don't see a proposal on the timezone, and, in any case, over 12 years have passed. After all, it's just a matter of waiting a week, imho shouldn't be a problem :)

I appreciate your elaboration, Superpes15. I understand that there needs to be consensus on-wiki as well, not just on Phabricator. Then, I will now leave it to the proposer to start a discussion on bjnwiki for a week.

Many thanks both @Rachmat04 and @Ezagren! I'll wait for the outcome :)
