w>Zyxw: Since `is obsolete in HTML5, replace it with – see HTML element#tt, Wikipedia:HTML5, and mw:Help:Extension:Linter/obsolete-tag. using AWB`

2018-08-05T06:55:29Z Since <tt> is obsolete in HTML5, replace it with <kbd> – see HTML element#tt, Wikipedia:HTML5, and mw:Help:Extension:Linter/obsolete-tag. using AWB New page <includeonly>[[Lists of time zones|{{utc|{{#expr:({{{UsualDifferenceFromUTCForThisLocation|0}}})+({{{DSTAdjustment|0}}})}}}}]]</includeonly><noinclude> This template prints the current UTC time offset by (UsualDifferenceFromUTCForThisLocation + DSTAdjustment) hours. ; Syntax<nowiki>:</nowiki> : <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}} ''<nowiki>[</nowiki>'' <nowiki>|</nowiki></kbd> :: <kbd>''<nowiki>[</nowiki>'' UsualDifferenceFromUTCForThisLocation=''hours''<nowiki>|</nowiki> ''<nowiki>]</nowiki>''</kbd> :: <kbd>''<nowiki>[</nowiki>'' DSTAdjustment=''hours''<nowiki>|</nowiki> ''<nowiki>]</nowiki>''</kbd> : <kbd>''<nowiki>]</nowiki>'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd> Missing parameters (or completely empty parameters, without even any blank in the ''hours'' value) are treated like zero. ; Rationale<nowiki>:</nowiki> The reason we separate out the "usual" difference from UTC and the DST adjustment is that the first part remains constant forever. Whereas the second part changes twice a year. This arrangement is the best way to minimize the number of pages we have to change when the clock changes. ; Examples<nowiki>:</nowiki> <pre>The current time in London is {{CurrentTimeIn| UsualDifferenceFromUTCForThisLocation=0| DSTAdjustment={{Current daylight saving offset in Europe}}}}</pre> and <pre>The current time in Paris is {{CurrentTimeIn| UsualDifferenceFromUTCForThisLocation=1| DSTAdjustment={{Current daylight saving offset in Europe}}}}</pre> and when the clocks change in Europe, the only page we have to change is {{tl|Current daylight saving offset in Europe}} which is minimal number of pages. This template is usually wrapped by another template which controls the positioning of the time on the page. One example is {{tl|CurrentTimeInHeader}} which puts the time near the top of the page. ; See also<nowiki>:</nowiki> * [[Template:Utc]] [[Category:Date mathematics templates|{{PAGENAME}}]] </noinclude>
