Hi all, This is a query regarding GSoC '14. I'm proficient in Hindi and English. I also am a hobbyist web developer and am quite familiar with HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

[Wikitech-l] How to retrieve current wiki time
There is StartTimestamp property used in edit api, which should contain the time, when you started editing the page. This timestamp needs to be in same timezone as wiki is. How do you get current wiki time, so that you can either calculate the timezone or use the time? For example: 1) Get current wiki time and store it 2) Edit the page 3) Use previously retrieved ts as StartTimestamp How can I query the mediawiki in order to get the current time from server's point of view ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] How to retrieve current wiki time
I am already doing that but I need to resolve conflict in new page. There is no talk page for a user. I am sending a warning to this user. If some other user with faster internet write that talk page faster than me, I will overwrite it effectively deleting his message (because there is no base revision for non-existent page). In fact it's even worse. I am using new section for the warning and in this scenario, result is that we both send the warning of same level in same moment for 2 different edits.

Re: [Wikitech-l] How to retrieve current wiki time
The starttimestamp is returned when you query prop=infointoken=edit. Note the returned timestamp should always be in UTC, formatted in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2014-02-26T15:01:37Z).

HA That is very useful and it kind of makes the start useless.

I have also updated the RDF to reflect the latest changes: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/TitleValue. Please have a look.

I'm not sure that's a good idea though. In my experience (on a wiki that used flagged revs), if the newbies see one thing, and regular users see another, what ends up happening is no one notices when the newbie oriented page is broken as the newbies don't know how to report issues (or even recognize something is an issue), which is bad because its the newbies where it is most important to make a good first impression. --bawolff ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
