When looking at the sentence "Account created on ..." above a list of contributions in Special:Contributions, I noticed that the creation date is in another timezone (I guess UTC) than my own timezone (CEST). Look for example here. For me, it shows "Account created on 22 September 2023.", while here it says 23 September 2023. Is there a way to make this consistent?
Kind regards,
Ennomien

I assume you have set CEST as "Time zone" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering ?
Thanks for your answer. I thought it would also be clear like this, but I will do that in the future.
Indeed, my timezone is set to a CEST time zone, corresponding with the date (and time) it shows me in Special:Log. I can conclude that because my local time 5:03 PM corresponds with the latest log in Special:Log, so the logs are in the time zone I chose and the "Account created on ..." isn't.
