Task T290854

The extension does not recognize responses signed with a Hebrew date only

My site uses MediaWiki version 1.39.6

Can you share an example of such signature, or even better, a link to your site where we could see the problem?

As far as I know, the extension works with the Hebrew language (see e.g. https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/שיחה:עמוד_ראשי), so there may be something unique about your configuration that triggers the problem.

I'm talking about a date according to the Hebrew calendar (it's also written in Hebrew but as you wrote it's not a problem)

A link to a talk page that has signatures only according to the Hebrew calendar and they are not recognized

Oh, I see – it looks like it indeed doesn't support this date format.  :(

I found an existing feature request for this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290854

I understand from the issue there that there is no plan to add such support?

There is no plan to add it, sorry. But if you or someone else were willing to work on a patch to add it, I'd be happy to accept it. I just wrote a bit of advice on how to do that: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290854#9540765

It is ok. I'll try to see if I'm okay with handling it, anyway thanks for the comments here and there.
