Wikipedia uses several templates that self-update every day to keep date and age information current. These are very useful for a dynamic online encyclopedia and save users from having to regularly update that kind of information. However, when using this kind of template, a few things should be kept in mind.
If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to the current minute of UTC+0 time; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. 30, 45, etc.) can also be given to get the current minute of UTC+00: offset time.
A unit of time is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), and by extension most of the Western world , is the second , defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom.
This template extracts the current integer minute on two digits (between 00 and 59) from the current UTC time (as set on the Wikimedia server). The shown value should match the right hand side of 19:48.
This template extracts the current integer second on two digits (between 00 and 59) from the current UTC time (as set on the Wikimedia server). The shown value should match the rightmost two digits of 20241222114501. Syntax: {{CURRENTSECOND}} Use {{subst:CURRENTSECOND}} to substitute the current second. Formula: {{#time:s}}
Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system. The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds. Other units of time – minute, hour, and day – are accepted for use with SI, but are not part of it
The time kept by a sundial varies by time of year, meaning that seconds, minutes and every other division of time is a different duration at different times of the year. The time of day measured with mean time versus apparent time may differ by as much as 15 minutes, but a single day differs from the next by only a small amount; 15 minutes is a ...
Hexadecimal time is the representation of the time of day as a hexadecimal number in the interval [0, 1). The day is divided into 10 16 (16 10 ) hexadecimal hours, each hour into 100 16 (256 10 ) hexadecimal minutes, and each minute into 10 16 (16 10 ) hexadecimal seconds.
