Can you test from your any computer or phone to view any page from official Wikipedia . then view your server log record , the time stamp is form computer local time or sever utc time?

But first please change your phone or computer time clock , set to fast 5 minutes or more.

Thanks

Date.now() returns date in the current device, not server. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/now

Please ask JavaScript questions elsewhere if they're not related to MediaWiki

Wikipedia server is use JavaScript , i need clearly to know when i view any web page from Wikipedia server log record is save my access computer local clock ? or use Wikipedia utc clock.

Can you help me .

I send Wikimedia Answers email and Wikipedia Volunteer .

Volunteer email said server log save record is for Wikipedia utc , not my computer time

Wikimedia Answers said me go to this to request my problem.

Hello

This 100% is about official Wikipedia , because my problem about law , when anyone view Wikipedia web page . The time stamp have or not Will it be affected by the JavaScript time function , server log records is save my computer local clock ? or use Wikipedia utc clock.

Anything saved/stored on the server uses the server time, not JavaScript time. Dates on the server are stored using UTC timezone. However, dates displayed on browser may be adjusted to a different timezones depending on user preferences, and in case of unregistered users, it will use the configured server's timezone (usually UTC, but may be different on different wikis)

Ok , thanks for your help first

But my question is not about register or unregistered to edit Wikipedia web page is or not the time stamp it will be affected by the JavaScript date.now() time function .

Ok finally

eg: i come to this url read this page Wikipedia, server log record is save my access computer local clock time stamp ? or use server utc clock time stamp. No any affected by the JavaScript date.now() time function .

Thanks

What server log are you talking about? The link you pointed at is a normal page, not a log

Normal page have log .

From

server /var/log/apache/access.log have save anyone records ip , date , time .

But media wiki program have use date.now() time function by Wikipedia Volunteer said that , so anyone only read this normal page , the server log record is save my computer local clock time stamp ? or use server utc clock time stamp. No any affected by the JavaScript date.now() time function ?

Please focus and come back to system access.log

Thanks

Most page views would not even be handled by the apache servers. However all server side logs will use the server side clocks and be unaffected by javascript.

I think you are a bit confused about how all the pieces fit together

I do not have access to Wikimedia Foundation's servers to see the contents of the apache access log.

Apparently, the default configuration for access logs is to display the server's timezone:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html#accesslog

Again, this is not specific to MediaWiki.

Hello thank you .

How can contact Chinese server owner?

Thanks

There is no separate owner for the chinese servers, and it is very unlikely that sysadmins are going to look in server logs for you without a reason or clear question.

Open a ticket on Phabricator

How to report a bug might be a better link. :)

In most places we use server side clocks. There may be a few limited situations where we use javascript date.now() timestamps, but its very few and far between.

What is it you actually want to find out?

But you are not sure if view any normal page from Wikipedia , is use javascript date.now() timestamps for save my computer clock or use server clock...........

This is very easy to test by yourself. Do the test mentioned on your first post. Or disable JavaScript.

I hope is 100% sure know answer , is not hope thinking myself answer Thanks

If i click here right ago or days this post , i can see is use my time , not server time, but click inside the time is use server time..........

Don't play me i really want to dead

Finally test please delete , thanks
