Summary: Provide timestamps in IRC RC feed
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: matthew.brit...@btinternet.com
Blocks: 16599
Users' system clocks are generally not synchronized with those of Wikimedia's
servers, and there is frequently a delay; in particular, there can be periods
of lag and then many revisions all being recieved at once.
Assigning revisions the system time as of when they arrived is fine for knowing
what edits were made in what order, but weirdness occurs when trying to use
these edits' supposed timestamps in conjunction with actual timestamps fetched
through the API (revisions in the wrong order, edit conflicts that aren't, and
so forth). The only way around this is to ask the API what the revision's real
timestamp is when doing anything with it, kind of negating the advantage of
using the IRC feed in the first place.
