This bug is similar to Bug 36791, but the execution would be different. The time picker on Special:CentralNotice should be replaced with some kind of a dedicated time picker widget. For date picking there's a the standard jQuery datepicker, but I couldn't find anything like this for picking time: Googling found a few jQuery add-ons, and there's also something in the SemanticFormsInputs extension. (Blocking 745, because the current time picker shows the time in reverse in RTL.)
Blocking instead of depending on bug 36794. Find a time picker that works well * not USA specific * no RTL bugs * implemented as a jQuery UI widget (so that the skin/theme is automatically correct) .. and use it. Then core can include it later.
There are some 3rd party options to look at here: http://www.jquery4u.com/plugins/10-jquery-time-picker-plugins/
I think we have to write it :(, in which case it isn't a standard. But I think it's a simple enough problem. Here are some more requirements: * integrates with jquery.ui.datepicker, in an API-compatible way such as passing the same params to datepicker, with the time filled in and nothing else changed. * has a minimized mode where only the time field is displayed (without buttons, etc) And FWIW, we aren't being clear even in English. Labels should always appear with units and timezone. Explanatory text if necessary. For example, "Manage Campaigns" has a "Start Date" column, which should indicate "(UTC)".
