Usage[edit]
This template places a user box on your user page that displays your local time zone and current local time. The template should accurately display your local standard time; it may or may not correctly display Daylight Savings Time, Summer time, or a similar seasonal adjustment in local time.
Parameters[edit]
The template has three (3) parameters. The first parameter is required. Other parameters are optional; if omitted, the template will use default values. For help finding correct values for the first and third parameter, see Find your time zone and UTC offset below.
- Local time zone (Required): Accepted values are UTC, GMT, or your time zone's abbreviation.
- Image: There are four images to from which to choose, or you can leave it blank, and your time zone's abbreviation will be displayed where the image would be. It is recommended that you use an image with a time zone with an offset.
- Time zone link: The time zone abbreviation links to the article given here. By default, this is the abbreviation itself, which is usually a disambiguation. It is better to link directly to the time zone's article.
Find your time zone and UTC offset[edit]
If you are unsure what to enter, find your location in this list of time zones to get the UTC offset and abbreviation. Click the time zone abbreviation to see the article for your time zone. This article title is the value for the third parameter.
