Description

Author: mathonius.alt

Description:
The displayed expiry time of changed blocks on nl.wikipedia.org is incorrect, see for example https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal:Logboeken/block&page=Gebruiker%3AHoogeveen123.

On 2 apr 2013 18:09 (CEST), I set the expiry time of an existing block to "21:02", meaning that the block should expire at 21:02 (CEST) today. However, according to the block log, the block will expire on "1 jan 1970 20:02". A similar thing happens when I block an account that has never been blocked before, see https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal:Logboeken/block&page=Gebruiker%3AMatho. This time, I set the expiry time to "19:09" and the log says "1 jan 1970 18:09".

matmarex closed this task as a duplicate of T55907: Block expiry time displayed in the logs is based on the Unix epoch instead of current time (e.g. an expiry of "10 september" displays as "00:00, 10 September 1970").Nov 4 2016, 11:34 PM
