 This avoids assuming the end date is definitely wrong. It focuses on the
 observable behavior.

 On the WordPress Credits Contributions event page, the event is displayed
 with a start date of 9 Apr 2026 and an end date of 9 Apr 2036, resulting
 in a duration of approximately 10 years and the message "Ends: in 9
 years".

 It is unclear whether this is an incorrect event configuration or a system
 issue that allows unrealistic event durations. The application should
 either prevent such durations through validation or clearly support long-
 running events if they are intended.

 Steps to reproduce

 Open the WordPress Credits Contributions event page.
 Check the event details panel.
 Observe the start and end dates.

 Actual result

 Start date: 9 Apr 2026
 End date: 9 Apr 2036
 UI displays: "Ends: in 9 years"

 Expected result

 Event durations should be validated to prevent unintended multi-year
 spans, or the UI should clearly indicate that such long-running events are
 intentional.
