Template:Countdown Timezone/doc

Description

This template generates a countdown and timezone converter for an event, configured by the parameters provided.

Dependencies

• wikia:dev:Countdown is a required extension.
• {{Countdown Timezone/Timezone Codes}}
  • {{Countdown Timezone}} uses {{Countdown Timezone/Timezone Codes}} to convert from the city and date of the event to the appropriate timezone, even accounting for Daylight-Saving Time. This dependency also autoselects the correct timezone code to use when generating the links to timeanddate.com.
  • {{Countdown Timezone/Timezone Codes}} must be manually updated with new cities and timezones, although it is a relatively easy process due to the use of switch parser functions. If there are changes to the dates Daylight Savings time begins or ends in any relevant city, the timezone codes in this template need to be updated to reflect the new dates. As of 2021-11-05, the dates for the time change are correct through 2028 for Los Angeles.
• timeanddate.com
  • The countdown template generates URLs to timeanddate.com using their format. If their format changes, then this template may not function properly.
