Time Setting in Mediawiki


If you ever wondered about the wrong time shown in the wiki when you look at recent changes, then please take a note of the following.
By default wiki comes with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time setting.

Please change your preferences in our wiki by the following procedure if you have not done yet-
Login to your wiki.
Click on my preference at the top right corner.
Click on Date and Time settings.
Under Time Zone, enter 05:30 in the offset text box. (05:30 is the time difference between IST & UTC). This setting is for India. According to your country, you can change this setting.
Click Save.

It will really make some sense while tracking the changes made to any of the wiki pages.
This time preference will show the local time in the following pages-
