Syntax
[edit source]- {{CURRENTMINUTE}}
- Use {{subst:CURRENTMINUTE}} to substitute the current minute.
- Use {{subst:CURRENTMINUTE|=}} to copy the code in a form that is ready for optional substitution in another template.
- Warning:
- Pages asking for the current minute often also need other parts of
{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}→ 20260430215722, and different "current" templates and variables can reflect different timestamps near hh:mm:59.
