This template is used to keep time formatted consistently across the wiki.
It converts time input to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and displays a link to a time conversion service for users to click and see when an event happened in their local time zone.
Complete documentation of the #time parser function that this template uses can be found at Help:Extension:ParserFunctions.
Usage
Enter time in the format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm time zone.
- The time 2025-12-22 09:56 UTC is entered as
{{time|2025-12-22 09:56 UTC}}.
The template will convert non-UTC input to UTC.
{{time|2018-01-13 15:00 JST}}will be converted to 06:00 UTC.
The template alone will display the current time. The time will not be accurate unless the page cache was refreshed recently.
- Entering
{{time}}results in 09:56 UTC.
If the date is not needed, time can be entered alone. The resulting link will assume today's date.
- 09:56 UTC is entered as
{{time|09:56 UTC}}.
Relative time is accepted.
- If 2025-12-22 09:56 UTC were the current time, entering
{{time|+2 hours}}would result in 11:56 UTC.
