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.
The tz database partitions the world into regions where local clocks all show the same time. This map was made by combining version 2023d with OpenStreetMap data, using open source software. [1] This is a list of time zones from release 2024b of the tz database. [2]
Each zone line for a zone specifies, for a range of date and time, the offset to UTC for standard time, the name of the set of rules that govern daylight saving time (or a hyphen if standard time always applies), the format for time zone abbreviations, and, for all but the last zone line, the date and time at which the range of date and time ...
The first variable of the template is required and can be UTC with or without an offset, GMT, or your time zone's abbreviation. The second variable is the image you wish to use.
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.
Note: neither {{Time zone/zone.tab cols wiki6}} nor {{Time zone/zone.tab cols linked}} can currently be used for the full table in List of tz database time zones because of performance limitations in processing such a long table. They can, however, be used for a small number of rows in individual area articles.
