Given the fact that you're confused over an hour's difference, it sounds like you are British, or in a time zone that recently switched over to BST. Times on Wikia wikis are pegged to UTC, not GMT. During the winter, there's no difference between the two time zones, so you probably got used to Wikia time being your local time. That is now no longer the case.

Alternately, you may not be in Britain, but may have been under the impression that your timezone was GMT±, since that is how time is frequently given. This is not really the case on Wikia. Instead, the offset is from UTC.

It's particularly confusing around this time of year, because of the difference between the end of US and European Daylight Savings periods. However, if you just learn to forget about GMT altogether, and go with UTC, you'll never be confused about what time it is in Wikia land.

Essentially, the Wikia clock is never wrong.
