| icon | This is a documentation subpage for Template:UTC offset. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template returns a UTC offset string suitable for use with the {{#time:}} parser function:
{{UTC offset|MST}}→ -6 hours
Usage
[edit source]This template takes two parameters:
<timezone code>– (required) the first positional parameter specifies the timezone for which the offset is desired|dst=– (optional) when set tono, suppresses daylight saving time adjustment
Valid <timezone code> values are the same as those supported by {{time}}.
Typical use of this template is with the {{#time:}} parser function:
{{#time:H:i}}→ 01:58 – UTC time{{UTC offset|MST}}→ -6 hours – MST or MDT offset from UTC{{#time:H:i | {{UTC offset|MST}} }}→ 19:58 – MST or MDT time
Use |dst=no to get the UTC offset for areas that do not support daylight saving time but are located within timezones that do: Arizona (does not) is located within the Mountain Time Zone (does).

Error messages
[edit source]This template can emit three error messages:
- unknown timezone <unknown timezone> – this message emitted when <unknown timezone> is not a timezone known to Module:Time. To resolve this error, use a known timezone specifier.
- missing required timezone – this template requires a timezone specifier. To resolve this error, provide a known timezone specifier.
- error calculating dst timestamps – this template automatically applies daylight saving adjustment for those timezones that support it. This error message indicates that the underlying data in Module:Time/data for the timezone is malformed. To resolve this error, the underlying data must be corrected. This may be accomplished by anyone with administrator or template editor permission. Post a message at Template talk:Time.
