cowikimedia: Update timezone to America/Bogota
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since its creation, the Wikimedia Colombia wiki has not been set to the America/Bogota time zone, as Colombia has only one timezone and the chapter operates solely within Colombian territory. For new users of this wiki, it is better for them to see the default time zone set to the country’s time zone rather than UTC, as UTC can be confusing for these users

This change does not require consensus because it is a chapter operated by WMCO
