If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to the current hour of UTC+0 time; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. −3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given to get the current hour of UTC+offset time (which will not be adjusted according to DST);
The time is calculated based on the offset from UTC for the specified time zone taking into account whether daylight saving time is currently active in that time zone. Note: Most Wikipedia pages display a cached version of the page to reduce server load, so the template will only display the current time as of when the page was last parsed .
The Eastern Time Zone (ET) is a time zone encompassing part or all of 23 states in the eastern part of the United States, parts of eastern Canada, and the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−05:00).
Swatch Internet Time (or .beat time) is a decimal time system introduced in 1998 by the Swatch corporation as part of the marketing campaign for their line of ".beat" watches. Those without a watch could use the Internet to view the current time on the watchmaker's website, but now a dedicated wiki serves the purpose. [ 1 ]
The most extreme example of this is time in China, which applies a single standard time offset of UTC+08:00 (eight hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time), even though China spans five geographical time zones. The UTC offset (or time offset) is an amount of time added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time to specify the time at a given ...

This template extracts the current integer second on two digits (between 00 and 59) from the current UTC time (as set on the Wikimedia server). The shown value should match the rightmost two digits of 20241222114501. Syntax: {{CURRENTSECOND}} Use {{subst:CURRENTSECOND}} to substitute the current second. Formula: {{#time:s}}
The offset 32.184 seconds was the 1976 estimate of the difference between Ephemeris Time (ET) and TAI, "to provide continuity with the current values and practice in the use of Ephemeris Time". [ 9 ] TAI is never revised once published and TT(TAI) has small errors relative to TT(BIPM), [ 6 ] on the order of 10-50 microseconds.
