The time is calculated based on the offset from UTC for the specified time zone taking into account whether daylight saving time is currently active in that time zone. 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 .
To add a new time zone to Module:Time, 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 pararameter
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.
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 ...
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.

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.
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 ...
