Created attachment 13634 [details] Media-Viewer-Date-Bug.png If a file has parenthesis in its date field, the Media Viewer's Lightbox View shows this error message, as shown in attached screenshot: 'Created on Invalid Date' This corresponds to this date field content on Commons: '18 February 2009 (according to EXIF data)' ... for this file: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sunrise_over_fishing_boats_in_Kerala.jpg ... as shown here on alpha multimedia site: http://multimedia-alpha.wmflabs.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo
[1] should fix this: when the date cannot be parsed, it is displayed as-is. (The current code tries that as well, but apparently (new Date(datetime)) is not a good test.) [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/92298/
Reopen if this is still an issue after the patch.
