On RC Patrol, recent edits are appearing to be older than they really are. I have a screenshot of an example - R2 left a message on a discussion page, and RC Patrol is saying the message was left 6 years ago, when it was left within the past 24 hours. It seems that it’s copying the date of the last
edit (the last message was from 6 years ago, and I’ve been seeing this on other edits as well): https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d2/Example-of-RC-Patrol-Date-Error.png/670px-Example-of-RC-Patrol-Date-Error.png
(I’m no good at adding images to the forums, so all you get is a link :P) Here’s the actual edit: https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Discussion:Clean-Your-Bedroom-in-a-Hour&oldid=27865042&diff=prev
It says it was from 6 years ago at the top, but if you scroll down to view the message, it was posted 4 hours ago (as of when I’m posting this).
I am getting the same thing. I do not think it is something major because, well, not all anti-vandalism software shows timestamps. But it would be nice, though
I never paid attention to this, but it is true :o. It shows the same timestamp as the revision before.

Thanks for reporting this @HelperOnWikihow
, that’s definitely something to file
There were some updates last night that may have caused this.
I see. No problem, and thanks for letting us know
It appears that something similar is occurring on the Community Dashboard. It says the last time every tool was used was 4 hours ago, and all the leaders last used the tools 4 hours ago, which isn’t accurate.
Yay! I’ll go check it out.
