Whould it be too Germany-centristic to have the time field set to +2 (and +1 in Winter) by default (only in the de.wikipedia of course)? And also for not logged-in users? I guess more than 90% of the German language Wikipedia contributors are from Germany, Austria or Swiss. Kurt

I've set the German wiki to consider the default timezone as Central European (Summer) Time. That is, if you _don't_ set a timezone offset (leave it blank) you see times in CEST. If you do set an offset, it's still measured against UTC, so there should be no nasty surprises. The four-tilde signature-with-time also shows according to this site-wide default local time. (This can be set via $wgLocaltimezone in LocalSettings.php) Note that this does not affect the places in recentchanges list where the date change is shown; this is a known bug that affects anyone with offset not set to server time.
