The daily counter achievement uses coordinated universal time (UTC), not your local time, for consistency across multiple locations/timezones. So they count midnight to midnight on UTC for everyone. It's a very common practice.

Looking at your contributions, you missed the 28th of Novemember due to, well, bad luck really. Your last edit on the 27th of November was at 23:30 UTC and your next edit was 26 hours later, at 02:20 UTC on the 29th of November. The difference would not have been obvious on your local time, which (I am guessing) works out to be the the last edit at 18:30 on the 27th of November, with the next edit at 20:20 on the 28th of November, 26 hours later. Any other time of day, and the extra 2 hours would not have made a difference, it was just unfortunate that the edits coincided with the time around midnight UTC. So in this case the 2 hours were enough to push from the 28th of November UTC into the beginning of the 29th of November on UTC.

Unfortunately, you will just have to keep an eye out for the time difference. If it helps, a good way to think about it is that the wiki runs on game time. Because the game's servers also use UTC for the vast majority of things. For example, everyones gifting resets as the servers reach a new day on UTC (i.e. midnight UTC). So every player will have their gifting reset at the exact same moment in time, but what time of day that happens to correspond in their local time will depend on their own time zone, and its difference from UTC. So if you are already very familiar with your gifting reset time, then you are already familiar with midnight UTC (and the vast majority of server's 'new day' time).
