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