Template:Current minute offset in time zone/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Current minute offset in time zone.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template gives the current minute offset from UTC time for the given time zone.

It can be used in conjunction with {{Current hour offset in time zone}} to calculate the current time in a particular time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.

Usage

{{Current minute offset in time zone|time zone}}

where

time zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations);
If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0;
In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -30, 45, etc.) can also be given;
This exact offset will then be used as the output (this functionality is merely included for template compatibility).

Supported time zones

The minute offset of standard time does not differ from the minute offset of daylight saving time (DST; if applicable).

From the list of time zone abbreviations, the following time zones are currently supported:

Abbreviations		Name	DST currently active? `{{Daylight saving active}}`	UTC offset h: `{{Current hour offset in time zone}}`; m: `{{Current minute offset in time zone}}`			Time [refresh] `{{Current hour in time zone}}`:`{{Current minute in time zone}}`			Notes for UTC offset and time
		Name	DST currently active? `{{Daylight saving active}}`	With DST rule	(`\|dst=no`)	(`\|dst=no`)	With DST rule	(`\|dst=no`)	(`\|dst=no`)	Notes for UTC offset and time
HST		Hawaii Standard Time	(0)	h: -10; m: 0	h: -10; m: 0		12:06	12:06		When `dst` is NOT set to "no", the T, ST and DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using `dst=no`), T and ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment. DST is not observed in Hawaii and in Saskatchewan (except Lloydminster, SK, where MST/MDT is observed).

Otherwise (when using `dst=no`), GMT will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and BST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
WET	WEST	Western European (Summer) Time	(1)	h: 1; m: 0	h: 0; m: 0	h: 1; m: 0	23:06	22:06	23:06	When `dst` is NOT set to "no", both the ET and EST variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using `dst=no`), ET will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and EST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

Otherwise (when using `dst=no`), T and ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment. DST is not observed in the AWT time zone.

KST		Korea Standard Time	(0)	h: 9; m: 0	h: 9; m: 0		07:06	07:06		DST is not observed in these time zones. It is not necessary to set `dst`.
JST		Japan Standard Time	(0)	h: 9; m: 0	h: 9; m: 0		07:06	07:06
NZT or NZST	NZDT	New Zealand Standard/Daylight Time	(0)	h: 12; m: 0	h: 12; m: 0	h: 13; m: 0	10:06	10:06	11:06	When `dst` is NOT set to "no", the NZT, NZST and NZDT variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using `dst=no`), NZT and NZST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and NZDT will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
		Integer input (e.g. -10)	(0)	h: -10; m: -10	h: -10; m: -10		12:56	12:56		Uses the specified hours and the specified minutes as the UTC offset. e.g. here with UTC−10:10 and UTC+08:08 offsets.
		Integer input (e.g. 8)	(0)	h: 8; m: 8	h: 8; m: 8		06:14	06:14
		Empty input	(0)	h: 0; m: 0	h: 0; m: 0		22:06	22:06		Follows UTC
		Unrecognised string (e.g. FOO)	(0)	h: 0; m: 0	h: 0; m: 0		22:06	22:06		Follows UTC
