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). Places that observe daylight saving time (DST) during their respective summer periods are listed only once, at the offset for their winter (usually ...

Time zone abbreviations for both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time are shown exactly as they appear in the database. See strftime and its "%Z" field. Some of zone records use 3 or 4 letter abbreviations that are tied to physical time zones, others use numeric UTC offsets.
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 offset for each implemented timezone is calculated in a sub template (except for UTC). Note: Most Wikipedia pages display a cached version of the page to reduce server load, so the template will only display the current time as of when the page was last parsed .
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);
The offset for each implemented timezone is calculated in a sub template (except for UTC). Note: Most Wikipedia pages display a cached version of the page to reduce server load, so the template will only display the current time as of when the page was last parsed .
Such designations can be ambiguous; for example, "CST" can mean China Standard Time (UTC+08:00), Cuba Standard Time (UTC−05:00), and (North American) Central Standard Time (UTC−06:00), and it is also a widely used variant of ACST (Australian Central Standard Time, UTC+9:30). Such designations predate both ISO 8601 and the internet era; in ...
