Template talk:Nicholas the Traveler

Time Zone
The template seems to use GMT as the time zone regardless of what UTC abbreviation you place after the time. Is this an error in the template code or do we need to update the example (which uses EST) and template instructions? --  Glamtre  (Contribs) 00:20, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * (Note: I copied and adapted the documentation from the Zaishen Combat template (originally), which was written by someone else.) I looked up the documentation for the #time: function, and it says it takes the same input formats as a PHP function which are explained here.  After trying a number of these, it looks like whatever version of #time: is implemented on Wikia is completely ignoring the time zone on input and setting everything to UTC.  All of the following should give different results, but instead they all give the same as the UTC result.




 * This isn't a template issue, it's a Wikia issue. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 01:28, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've noticed this on some of the time based templates I am using with my User name space. Is there a mechanism by which we can lobby to have this function or module changed or updated? --  Glamtre  [[Image:Axe-icon-right.png]] (Contribs) 03:11, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Special:Contact is the official method of reporting issues to Wikia now. If you do send them a report, please post a copy to the Wikia staff noticeboard so we have documentation of it.  (Also, they're usually good enough to post there with a response/explanation after it gets resolved.)  I'd write it up myself, but I'm too tired right now.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 03:48, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
