Purpose

This template converts UTC time to your specified local time.

Mechanism

Template:Revisedtime extract hour and minute from CURRENTTIME, and gives hour+timezone to Template:Revisedtime/h. Template:Revisedtime/h uses the array implementation method introduced in help:parameter default, and returns revised hour to Template:Revisedtime. Finally, Template:Revisedtime returns a revised hour and a colon and current minute.

Usage

{{Revisedtime
  |your local timezone: -12,-11,...,-1,0,+1,...,+12
  |{{CURRENTTIME}} or a specified time=now
  |=
}}

Note: because of the cache mechanism, the result will not update automatically without purging or editing. So it's not suggested to use it as revised CURRENTTIME.

Examples

• {{Revisedtime|0|{{CURRENTTIME}}=now|=}} gives 04:00.
• {{Revisedtime|+8|{{CURRENTTIME}}=now|=}} gives 12:00.
• {{Revisedtime|0|{{subst:CURRENTTIME}}=now|=}} gives 07:25.
• {{Revisedtime|+8|{{subst:CURRENTTIME}}=now|=}} gives 15:25.
• {{Revisedtime|0|12:00=now|=}} gives 12:00.
• {{Revisedtime|+8|12:00=now|=}} gives 20:00.
