Description John Mark Vandenberg 2009-05-11 13:27:27 UTC 
I am often copying datestamps around and dropping them into URLs as offsets to page history and user contribs.

Currently I need to copy "2001-01-15T16:12:34" and turn it into "20010115161234" before it will work.  This seems unnecessary as the former is easily parsed.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-05-14 23:54:11 UTC 
Looks like currently we require the Z on the end:

> return wfTimestamp(TS_MW, '2001-01-15T16:12:34');
19700101000000

> return wfTimestamp(TS_MW, '2001-01-15T16:12:34Z');
20010115161234

Per spec, if the timezone isn't specified it should be assumed to be local time, but probably just taking it in as UTC will be fine for our purposes.

Do we want to accept other specified timezones though? This would require applying the transformation on input.
