I'm going to assume this is an English Wikipedia user...the message there does
provide this time and date information, however, it is done via a customisation
to the interface message; they're using {{CURRENTDAY}} et al. to produce the
time and date, which does so in UTC.

We could consider adding a $3 parameter to the message which would contain a
timestamp adjusted to the user's timezone settings, however.

Correct this is on en.wikipedia.org

On a possibly related note, the timestamp that gets shown as the result of a
~~~~ appears to have the same issue.

It's correct that these are related, although the latter can't be fixed. The
text that is saved into the database has UTC preserved to ensure that it looks
the same for all users, regardless of timezone issues.

The case this bug reports can be fixed, because that text isn't saved into the
database as part of a content page.
