time zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations); If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given;
The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets of different countries, territories and regions. Information on daylight saving time or historical changes in offsets can be found in the individual offset articles (e.g. UTC+01:00) or the country-specific time articles (e.g. Time in Russia).
If you live in a region that utilizes daylight saving time (DST), the offset needs to be manually changed when DST occurs. For example, in Southern Ontario, in the Eastern Time Zone, the offset would be -5. When the Eastern time zone is experiencing daylight saving time, the argument -4 is used in the template instead of -5.
To add a new time zone to Module:Time/data, add the appropriate information inside the single quotes. If a property does not apply, leave the quotes empty. The rules for each property are: [''] – (required) the abbreviation of a time zone's standard time; must be lower case; this is the value that will be used in the template's time zone ...
Standard Time (SDT) and Daylight Saving Time (DST) offsets from UTC in hours and minutes. For zones in which Daylight Saving is not observed, the DST offset shown in this table is a simple duplication of the SDT offset. The UTC offsets are based on the current or upcoming database rules.
If the time zone is omitted, the template defaults to displaying UTC. Exceptions: Sometimes, two different time zones have the same abbreviation. As we cannot change them, a little trick must be used for lesser-used ones. Instead of using the template above, you must use the following template: {{subst:Time zone|timezone continent}}
The time is calculated based on the offset from UTC for the specified timezone taking into account whether daylight saving time is currently active in that timezone. The offset for each implemented timezone is calculated in a sub template (except for UTC).
If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to the current hour of UTC+0 time; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. −3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given to get the current hour of UTC+ offset time (which will not be adjusted according to DST);
