Template:Time zone/doc

< Template:Time zone
(Redirected from Template:Tz/doc)

{{Time zone}} can be used to quickly and consistently link to an article on a timezone, while automatically displaying the deviation from UTC.

It also contains sub-templates that contain the data for columns in the tz database.

Usage

edit 
{{subst:Time zone|timezone}}

Replace timezone with any standard time zone code. If the time zone is omitted, the template defaults to displaying UTC.

Exceptions: Sometimes, two different time zones have the same abbreviation. As we cannot change them, a little trick must be used for lesser-used ones. Instead of using the template above, you must use the following template:

{{subst:Time zone|timezone continent}}

Replace timezone with any standard time zone code. Replace continent with any of the following:

  • Africa: AF
  • Antarctica: AN
  • Asia: AS
  • Australia: AU
  • Europe: EU
  • North America: NA
  • South America: SA

Examples:

  • Irish Summer Time: {{subst:Time zone|IST EU}} gives IST (UTC+01:00)
  • Indian Standard Time: {{subst:Time zone|IST}} gives IST (UTC+05:30)

Ireland being less inhabited than India, Indian Standard Time will be used more often than Irish Summer Time, and is therefore the default if no continent is specified.

See more examples below.

tz database

edit

Sub templates store data from the tz database and some related information. These examples are accurate as of version 2024b of the database.

Template Description Example Produces
{{Time zone/version}} Produces the version number of the tz database. Update this template when updating those below with data from a new release. Add a parameter (value doesn't matter) to include a link to the IANA FTP site. {{Time zone/version|IncludeLink}} [ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2016e.tar.gz 2016e]
{{Time zone/country code}} Maps TZ to country code from zone.tab {{Time zone/country code|Asia/Urumqi}} CN
{{Time zone/iso 3166-1 link}} Maps TZ to linked country code from zone.tab {{Time zone/iso 3166-1 link|Asia/Urumqi}} [[ISO 3166-1:CN|CN]]
{{Time zone/coordinates}} Maps TZ to coordinates in original format from zone.tab {{Time zone/coordinates|Asia/Urumqi}} +4348+08735
{{Time zone/coord}} Maps TZ to different coordinate format {{Time zone/coord|Asia/Urumqi}} 43/48/N/087/35/E
{{Time zone/comments}} Maps TZ to comments from zone.tab {{Time zone/comments|Asia/Urumqi}} Covering historic [[Sinkiang-Tibet]] time zone
{{Time zone/rulefile}} Maps TZ to linked continent file that defines the zone (or link) and DST rules.
{{Time zone/utc offset}} Maps TZ to normal (non-DST) UTC offset {{Time zone/utc offset|Europe/Amsterdam}} +01:00
{{Time zone/utc offset link}} Maps TZ to linked normal (non-DST) UTC offset {{Time zone/utc offset link|Europe/Amsterdam}} [[UTC+01:00|+01:00]]
{{Time zone/utc zone}} Maps TZ to normal (non-DST) UTC offset with prefix {{Time zone/utc zone|Europe/Amsterdam}} UTC+01:00
{{Time zone/utc zone link}} Maps TZ to linked normal (non-DST) UTC offset with prefix {{Time zone/utc zone link|Europe/Amsterdam}} [[UTC+01:00]]
{{Time zone/utc dst offset}} Maps TZ to DST UTC offset {{Time zone/utc dst offset|Europe/Amsterdam}} +02:00
{{Time zone/utc dst offset link}} Maps TZ to linked DST UTC offset {{Time zone/utc dst offset link|Europe/Amsterdam}} [[UTC+02:00|+02:00]]
{{Time zone/zone.tab cols wikitable}} Maps TZ to 4 elements as a wikitable row – country code, coordinates, zone name, and comments {{Time zone/zone.tab cols wikitable|Antarctica/South_Pole}} 
| [[ISO 3166-1:AQ|AQ]]
| 	-9000+00000
| [[Antarctica/South_Pole]]
| Amundsen-Scott Station, South Pole
{{Time zone/zone.tab cols linked}} Similar to {{Time zone/zone.tab cols wikitable}}, but adds two more lines to the output, containing the linked normal (non-DST) and DST UTC offsets {{Time zone/zone.tab cols linked|Antarctica/South_Pole}} 
| [[ISO 3166-1:AQ|AQ]]
| 	-9000+00000
| [[Antarctica/South_Pole]]
| Amundsen-Scott Station, South Pole
| [[UTC+12:00|+12:00]]
| [[UTC+13:00|+13:00]]
{{Time zone/zone.tab cols unlinked}} Same as {{Time zone/zone.tab cols unlinked}}, but with no links {{Time zone/zone.tab cols unlinked|Antarctica/South_Pole}} 
| AQ
| 	-9000+00000
| Antarctica/South_Pole
| Amundsen-Scott Station, South Pole
| +12:00
| +13:00
{{Time zone/zone.tab cols wiki6}} A possibly slower version of {{Time zone/zone.tab cols linked}}. 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.
{{Infobox time zone}} Displays an infobox on the right side of pages for the tz zones, if the page name matches a zone name. For an example see Asia/Omsk.
{{Time zone/zoneinfo}} Displays the lead and a table containing the tz database data. For example, see Asia/Thimphu.
