The first variable of the template is required and can be UTC with or without an offset, GMT, or your time zone's abbreviation. The second variable is the image you wish to use. There are four images from which to choose (watch, clock, alarm or world), or you can leave it blank, and your time zone's abbreviation will be displayed where the image would be. It is recommended that you use an image with a time zone with an offset. The third variable is the timezone abbreviation - by default, this is the abbreviation itself, which is usually a disambiguation. The old syntax using '''<code><nowiki>time zone{{!}}time zone abbreviation</nowiki></code>''' in the first argument is still currently supported, but requires that an image be used. |

Usage
The first variable of the template is required and can be UTC with or without an offset, GMT, or your time zone's abbreviation. The second variable is the image you wish to use. There are four images from which to choose (watch, clock, alarm or world), or you can leave it blank, and your time zone's abbreviation will be displayed where the image would be. It is recommended that you use an image with a time zone with an offset. The third variable is the timezone abbreviation - by default, this is the abbreviation itself, which is usually a disambiguation. The old syntax using time zone{{!}}time zone abbreviation in the first argument is still currently supported, but requires that an image be used.
Offsets
See the list of time zones for appropriate values.
