Tɛmplet:Time/doc/parameters

Parameters

{{time}} supports two positional and several named parameters; none are required:

|<time zone> – the first positional (unnamed) parameter, specifies the time zone for which the template is to provide a time output. If omitted, the template displays UTC time. A time zone is identified by an abbreviation of the time zone's standard-time name. Do not use a summertime or daylight saving time abbreviation; they will be ignored and produce an error message.

|<df> – the positional (unnamed) version of |df= which see

|df= – date format; this parameter takes one of several values; values other than these are ignored:

|df=dmy – specifies day month year date format; time in 24-hour format; alias: |df=dmy24

05:41, 22 Silimin gɔli November 2024 MST [refresh]

|df=dmy12 – same as |df=dmy except time in 12-hour am/pm format

5:41 am, 22 Silimin gɔli November 2024 MST [refresh]

|df=mdy – specifies month day, year format; time in 24-hour format; default when a date format is not specified in the time zone's properties; alias: |df=mdy24

05:41, Silimin gɔli November 22, 2024 MST [refresh]

|df=mdy12 – same as |df=mdy except time in 12-hour am/pm format

5:41 am, Silimin gɔli November 22, 2024 MST [refresh]

|df=iso – renders the date/time in a form roughly adhering to the ISO 8601 format (seconds omitted)

|df=y – legacy {{time}} parameter, same as |df=dmy

|df=12 – time-only display 12-hour am/pm format

5:41 am MST [refresh]

|df=24 – time-only display 24-hour format

05:41 MST [refresh]

|df-cust= – custom time/date formats using the codes defined at mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time; yields to |df=

|df-cust-a= – custom time/date formats as above specifically for ante meridiem time; requires |df-cust-p=; yields to |df-cust=

|df-cust-p= – custom time/date formats as above specifically for post meridiem time; requires |df-cust-a=; yields to |df-cust=

|dst= – when set to no, disables the daylight saving time calculation for the time zone; other values ignored; useful for locations within a time zone that do not observe daylight saving time; Arizona, for example

|lang=<code> – displays time/date in language specified by ISO 639 language <code>

these parameters take only the value yes:

|dateonly= – suppresses time display

|timeonly= – suppresses date display

|hide-refresh= – suppresses the refresh link

|hide-tz= – suppresses the timezone abbreviation

|unlink-tz= – renders unlinked timezone abbreviation

|_TEST_TIME_= – a parameter that was useful during the development of the template's code. The value assigned to this parameter must either be in ISO 8601 format without time zone designator (2024-11-22T12:41:43), or YYYYMMDDhhmmss format as output by {{Timestamp}} (20241122124143). This is interpreted by the template as UTC.
