Template:Countdown/doc

From [N8]

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Countdown.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template creates a countdown timer, and works only in UTC time (the official wiki-time). The correct usage is as follows:

{{Countdown|[name of month] [number pertaining to day] [year] [time of day in UTC]}}

Therefore,

{{Countdown|January 1 3000 20:00}}

Would create this: January 01 3000 20:00 UTC This message will be displayed if the timer does not show up (if you do not have javascript enabled on your browser, for example)

Options

  • |endmsg=... can be set to an arbitrary message which will be displayed when the countdown expires. (Using multiple of these on the same page may cause issues.)
  • |noup=yes will stop the countdown at zero instead of counting up. (endmsg will take priority.)
  • |nomsg=yes will hide the default message given (about javascript being disabled).
