Original description:
I tried to run delinker.py on a machine, which has time set in the future \(+30 minutes\). It is impossible for CD to work correctly \(because it does not read deletion logs\). I have created a small workaround. I don't know python at all \(I prefer Perl:\), so the code may look a little funny.

patch to commonsdelinker/delinker.py

Logged In: YES

Originator: NO

If the time is set to the future using timezones, it should not be a problem, since time.gmtime\(\) returns the timestamp in UTC.

I don't think it is a good idea to patch CD because your computer is not configured correctly.

This patch eliminates problems with different time set on client or server side. It also solves limit=500 issue \(which is useful when we start delinker with parameter -since on larger project\). I don't really care if you apply this patch \(because I am already using it\), but for some people \(non-programmers\) it may be quite useful.

@Dvorapa: As " this project's tasks are now tracked at https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/commons-delinquent/issues instead of Pywikibot-delinker.py in Wikimedia Phabricator", what should happen with this open task? Decline?

@Dvorapa: As per last comment and no reply to it, I am closing this task as declined.
