Thanks Andre for editing the summary. To clarify, I had left the report in General/Unknown because this "feature" was added by a team developing some extension for their own purposes and it's not yet clear if the problem should be solved in core. Hopefully, no core interface is using this mechanism yet and i18n of core is not affected.

So basically this bug is requesting that these things be moved to using MWTimestamp::getHumanTimestamp?

Still having interests? The original issue is about an archived #MediaWiki-extensions-Moodbar
