It seems odd to me that MediaWiki imposes a European dating format on all signatures. Does anyone know how to change the timestamp for signatures so that it uses ISO 8601? For example, is there some setting that can be imposed through the LocalSettings.php file?
Instead of:
07:00, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
I would like to have:
07:00, 2016 August 13 (UTC)
There doesn't seem to be any setting for that. However it seems sensible to allow it to be configurable in LocalSettings.php similar to $wgAmericanDates but having full control over the date format, at least for signatures. Feel free to fill a task about that
Thanks. I went to Phabricator and did a search. No one seems to have talked about this. But when I wanted to create a task, it seems I need to create a fresh account there. Frankly, I lost interest at that point. I don't have the time to follow up on this. And if no one else is interested, then it's likely to be a long time before this relatively simple and sensible change is implemented. And I guess I'll just wait.
