Hello all, take note that a special global switch $wgLocalTZoffset can be used to adjust the display of time of the day in your wikis. Attention: the variable can only be set to non-fractional hour offsets. Example: $wgLocalTZOffset = '+2'; (to display all date/times in a mediawiki with an offset of +2 hours to the servertime, most often UTC.) The variable is well commented in all recent MediaWiki distributions and is defined in DefaultSettings.php Go back in time when the comment was introduced: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/includes/DefaultSett… Further reading in http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3305 . and general issues of an automatic "switch" to or from DST see http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505 Regards, Wikinaut
