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|df=dmy12– same as|df=dmyexcept time in 12-hour am/pm format|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|df=mdy12– same as|df=mdyexcept time in 12-hour am/pm format|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|df=24– time-only display 24-hour format
|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 tono, 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 (2025-05-30T15:52:39), or YYYYMMDDhhmmss format as output by {{Timestamp}} (20250530155239). This is interpreted by the template as UTC.
